https://read.cash/@gerl/how-do-you-stop-comparing-yourself-to-others-2e44d4ca Comparisons between people are a recipe for unhappiness unless you are the best in the world. Which, let’s be honest, only one person is. Not only are we unhappy but the other people are as well. They are probably comparing themselves to you—maybe you’re better at networking than they are and they’re jealous. At worst, when we compare ourselves to others we end up focusing our energy on bringing them down instead of raising ourselves. There is one thing that you’re better at than other people: being you. This is the only game you can win. Starting with this way of thought, the world begins to look better again. You don't dwell anymore on where you are compared to others. Instead, concentrate on what you can do now and how you can better yourself. Life becomes a better version of itself. And when that happens, every day your efforts and effort are geared to the enhancement of your operating system, not to think about your colleagues. You are getting happier, away from the collisions of false comparisons, and concentrated on today. If you don't live up to others' standards, too bad. The way they look at you, through a warped lens, created by perceptions and desires, is the same way you look at them. What matters is what you think you are doing, what your standards are, what you will do today.
