Comparison is Good or Bad???

Comparison is BAD - If you want to be happy you shouldn’t compare yourself to other people.

Right???


Wrong!!!

Comparison is Good - If it motivates you to improve.
 

Yes Friends - comparison is good if it allows you to learn from people you admire.

If you compare yourself to your boss, and it motivates you to work smarter, that comparison improved your life for the better.

If you compare yourself to someone your age, and if it inspires you to improve, that comparison will make a positive difference in not just your life, but your family too.

It’s when the comparison game gets you down on yourself that you need to be cautious.
 

> When you sit around complaining it isn’t fair someone had more advantages instead of working harder to create your own luck.
 

> When you feel paralyzed because you’ve made nowhere near the same progress as someone else in a similar place.
 

> When you convince yourself there’s something wrong with you for not having, achieving, or being like someone else.

Comparing for the sake of complaining does nothing but hold you back.
 

There will always be someone smarter, stronger, more attractive, more successful, wiser, healthier, and happier than you. Just like there will always be someone who doesn’t have your potential, advantages, or opportunities. 

Choose your comparisons wisely.  

Find people who’ve done what you actually want to do and use comparisons as motivation to improve.

Be Happy. You deserve it.
