"Don't compare yourself with anyone in this world...if you do so. Your insulting yourself"- Bill Gates

Have you sometimes compared yourself with others?

How does it feel when we are going to compare ourselves to others?

Does comparing ourselves affect our mental health?

Hi, regards to everyone who has been on this site may we continue our journey through thick and thin though sometimes we're facing circumstances that we can not avoid that can cause us to be unmotivated but as we always said that all those things are going through.

So for my today's topic is about comparing ourselves to others.

I can not deny the fact that if someone were better than me I have this attitude of telling myself that I wish I could also do the same.

I would like to give some of my insecurities that I consider these things that are the reason why I compare myself to others.

  • If I see a younger individual who is successful in their chosen path

I know it's an unhealthy feeling that I compare myself to the success of others but somehow it is also a way for me to assess myself and why I am not succeeding in whatever way I want.

I know we all have a different path to take in this world may they achieve their goals at a right time within their specific time frame or other they have their luck to achieve all those things at the right time.

There was some time that I think about how they achieve their success at a young age?

Could it be that they have luck in their existence?

I guess all of us want to be successful in whatever our goals in life may it be in business or our life but most people failed to do it it's because they stop and give up easily.

It sounds like I am ranting what my life at the moment by comparing my capability with others but the truth is I keep it as a challenge.

Those securities, envious, that I feel somehow I want to make and used it as a motivation to continue my goals in life.

Since comparing ourselves to other people will not do good for us it will make us not able to trust our capability to do such a thing it will give our self-esteem low and think that everybody is better than we are.

Closing words

If we compared ourselves to others we are becoming impatient with everything, if we want to be successful in our lives we should work and be smart enough and have a passion for it. We should focus on ourselves so that we can see our progress and that every second we spent looking at someone else achievements would be better spent working on our own personal.

If we see someone better than us in terms of performance, and knowledge it's okay to compare ourselves but in an inspiring way to improve. We must, however, stop comparing so that we can avoid fear and have the confidence to take risk of developing ourselves.

That's all for me today and thank you for reading!

I used to compare myself to others too. Pero I realized that it will not help me grow kasi iba iba naman tayo ng ganap sa buhay. I am happier to be myself.

Oo sis hindi pa rin maganda kapag palagi natin kono compare sarili natin sa iba kasi hindi na natin na appreciate yung blessings na ating natatanggap.

So true cleo. I so love what you have quoted from Bill Gates that if you compare yourself to others, you are truly insulting yourself. This is a nice thought to ponder.

We cannot deny the fact that there are really those times that we tend to compare ourselves with anyone. It is good to compare for reference and inspiration but not to the extent of damaging your life and being depressed for not competing with anyone.

Thank you for this nicely written content cleo. I enjoyed reading and it is a nice feeling to meet you here. Have a great day ahead of you.

Exactly my dear Cleophia, I completely agree with you, if we compare ourselves with others, we are becoming impatient with everything, if we want our success we must leave this habit aside, and focused on our work and our progress...

I also compared myself just to motivate myself to do more efforts. Infact it is not a healthy activity because everyone has their own capacities and capabilities.

Your words are logical. I did that too. Comparing yourself with others leads to depression. There is no peace of mind . We should be content as we are.

I believe that we all are different people and that's why I don't compare myself to other people. I am me and I believe that no one can replace me. Comparing myself to others will just make me sad. I used to do it but I had to stop

Meron talagang mga times na ma compare natin yung self natin sa ibang tao sis but we must know how to control and know how to stop it kasi di maganda. Instead gawin silang inspiration in our life.
