Stop comparing yourself to others
Success, accomplishment is some thing that makes us dream every now and then. That is the simple truth! Everyone intentions on this earth involves attaining something great as long as he/she is alive on this earth and includes attaining their unimaginable goals. Nevertheless, all of us progresses at our personal momentum.... some start achieving at a very young age and while some will have to wait till they are getting older. Every human being is unique we're completely different from others but at some stage we would be tempted to start comparing ourselves to others most especially those that are doing better. It’s something that's absolutely common within human beings. **Comparing ourself To Others Is obviously a Trap** It appears normal that you will compare your self to people who have been more successful at a given time than you. Indeed, we usually seeks to aim higher that's why we compare with those that have achieved their goals. By making those comparisons, that's when troubles will begin. You will find out that a number of your friends or people you taken into consideration to be of the same level when it comes to achievements in the past are completely better than you now. They have a better home, maybe a very expensive car, a better wife or a better husband…..Once you have made this sour observation, that is when you will start asking your self the some unreasonable question like “What have they done that I haven't done better and they have accomplished more?" After you have tried finding answer to the question and you couldn't find it or you didn't find a satisfactory solution then you may begin studying the behavior of those people or friends you were comparing yourself just because you want to be like them. That's when the intention to Become Someone Else sets in. You will start wasting the precious time you have to achieve something and become better on trying to study another person because he was more successful at that time and sometimes we are usually wrong we might think the other person is better but you don't know what he's battling Secretly. Let's assume the person was doing better, was always on expensive clothing's, expensive cars always helping others but you that is still struggling will now go further to start wearing expensive clothes and helping those that should be helping you. By doing so you would have come across those that should have helped you but you were not yourself. Final thought We are different, unique, extraordinary the way we are don't try wasting your precious time to be like someone else. You can be better the way you are That's why people say Life is a marathon and not a sprint! Take things easy, don't be in a rush, learn from your failure, adjust to changes, nothing like shortcut, move at your pace. A race will surely no matter who comes first.

It is better to be yourself rather than comparing yourself to another person. What can work for A may be far different to B.
Yeah that's right not everything that A do and prosper is what B can do and and prosper
Comparing with others is pointless. We should follow our personal values in order to do things well and to love ourselves if we want to succeed. Everyone is unique.
Yeah everyone is unique that should be our strength because we can achieve anything through our unique way
Is good to compare ourselves to others but we should see it as mean to improve ourself and focus on oursleves
Sometimes it's good it can lead to increases in motivation, learning, and high performance
The time we lose comparing ourselves to others won't come back, the best thing is to keep trying and keep fighting to be better, but not to get ahead of others, but to be at peace with ourselves.
Yeah you're right thanks for the contribution. I just think it's inevitable because at one point or the other we find ourselves doing it
True we are unique and we all have our own pace let's stop comparing ourselves to others. Sometimes though we tend to be compared by the people around us thus making us more insecure and give us a lot of pressure. Sometimes it's not us who compare ourselves but the people around us as well.
Yeah that pressure word says it all. We would be pressurized to do what were are not meant to do
Comparison strikes in like every time someone gets somewhere higher or much better than where we are, I love your post and you added a lot to it.. social media has deceived so many trying so hard to live same life perfect phrase life is a marathon works powerfully well all the time. Happy weekend buddy
Yeah that's right, imagine someone living fake life on social media and I'm trying to compare myself to them and start getting myself involved in what I shouldn't just because of someone else fake life
That’s right, it doesn’t really add up seriously speaking... people can imitate here ehn.. A friend has this habits of buying anything a celebrity puts on, he would go through all the markets in Nigeria to find it... He believes wearing those would make him at the same level 😅
😂😂😂 celebrity that have no idea whether he exist 😂
Comparison is not the right thing,, everyone of us have different and unique characteristics,we should fucos and achieve our goal without any comparison, soh stop the hate spread the love.
Yeah focusing on our self because we are unique is the main thing
Yes we are,,
Before there are times that I compare myself to others, but now although I can see that they are better, I just pray for them and improve myself too; not as jealousy but inspiration :)
Yeah that's another advantage of comparing yourself to others it inspire you to work harder and also motivates you.
