21. Comparing yourself. Does it hurt or does it help?

In this episode:

Comparing is an act of violence  against ourselves. - Iyanla Vanzat 

• Comparison in life and in our creativity feels bad because it undermines who we are and what we create. Think about what happens when we compare: Comparison requires judgment: I judge myself as bad/ worse and the other as better. 
• The positive aspects of comparison: learning, getting inspired, or in competitive situations knowing where you rank. 
• Public speaking moment: a client wanted to speak like YXZ. Does her audience want another version ofXYZ? a copy of XYZ? or the best version of her. 
• What is the best? The best speech, the best book?  It depends on what is the purpose of the speach.
• A New teacher talking like somebody else. What sticks out: who is speaking? 
• The ugly face of comparison: jealousy. Transform it: evolve thru this awareness: find within yourself the gifts you see so clearly and admire so much in the other person. 
• How do I conquere comparisitis : becoming aware of the feeling, checking in what was I just thinking? Realizing I was comparing myself. Letting it go....
• Comparision promotes copying and is limiting our creativity. 
• Letting it go requires courage and trust within ourselves and our ideas.
