Comparing ourselves to others is so easy, and so futile. 

Quotes to remember: 

“We’ll never win the game of comparison.” 

“When somebody’s doing well in their path, it really doesn’t have anything to do with your path.” 

Takeaways:

  • Comparing is a distortion of what is really going on
  • Online and offline, many people will showcase their highlight reel versus the full picture
  • The voice of the ego is not you
  • Choose your comparisons wisely
  • When you focus on who you are and what you enjoy doing, the FOMO and the comparing fall away

What you’ll learn:

  • What to do when you find yourself comparing to others and feeling bad
  • How to work with the ego rather than against it
  • What comparing reveals about yourself

THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE: Notice one time in which you are comparing yourself to someone else. Allow it to be there rather than avoid it. Notice when it happens, how you feel, and what the voice is saying in your head.
