Too often in life, we can find ourselves observing other
people and conclude that what they are doing is in some way better than what
we are doing.
This is something that can occur anywhere and at any time.
Perhaps you find yourself comparing your grades to your peers, or comparing a
sporting achievement with someone else. Maybe you look at what your friend is
wearing and feel green with envy or wish you could earn as much money as your
co-worker. This type of comparison can leave us feeling negative and deflated
and may even lead us to question our own lives.
A good place of example which can leave us
feeling inferior, is social media. People often paint an image of a perfect life, sharing
beautiful pictures of themselves, their friends and amazing places they’ve
visited (me included). But this isn’t their whole
reality! The truth is, sometimes we have moments and indeed whole days where
nothing seems to go right and we’re left feeling miserable. These are the
things that we aren’t so quick to share online.
Ultimately, It is irrelevant what anyone else is doing in
life. It’s up to you to create your own narrative and not waste time comparing.
So remember, the only person you can compare yourself to in
life is you!
