The Self-Sabotage of Comparing Yourself to Others

In this week’s episode of Scaling Life, I get real about my lifelong struggle with comparing myself to others - and why it only leads to feeling inadequate and like a failure.

Episode Highlights

I explain how comparing myself to the best traits of different friends left me constantly feeling "not good enough"

I discuss how comparison between two people is mathematically invalid - we're too multi-dimensional

I share how people's natural strengths may not be your strengths and vice versa

I advise focusing on developing your innate talents rather than weaknesses

I urge listeners to get clear on their own priorities over external markers of success

Quotes from Me

"You're comparing yourself to the sum of others - not any one person. Because Anne didn't have Sophie's exercise habit and Sophie didn't have Peter's career."

"We compare our messy insides to others' shiny externals - no wonder we feel inadequate!"
