People have a tendency to compare themselves to others. This is a well known cause of much of the stress and unhappiness we experience.
Why?
Because we tend to give too much credit to the work and achievements of others and too little credit to our own work and achievements. As a result, we often place our role models on impossibly high pedestals. This can cause us to feel like we are constantly failing, in comparison.
This got me thinking
How about instead of comparing ourselves to someone else, we decide to focus on being the best that we can be?
It’s just a thought.
