Comparison is NOT the thief of joy! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise Again From The Struggle

Comparison is a tool and a skill, not a thief of joy.

You just suck at the skill, so you think it's bad.

For instance, if you compare my workout to a bodybuilder's workout, it would not be good. Maybe this leads me to feel down about myself. Then I realize we aren't training for the same goal.

You see, comparing things that aren't in the same reality is what leads to your feelings of stolen joy.

Compare levels of effort, work ethic, or skill training schedules. These are things you can control. You compare them, make adjustments as needed to optimize for your goal, and then apply and repeat.

And remember, only you have the ability to control your emotions. So if that comparison stole your joy, you let it.

No excuses!
