Comparing ourselves to others might be natural, but it is also | Remote Helpers

Comparing ourselves to others might be natural, but it is also deadly. By taking an infinite approach and reframing your competitors as worthy rivals, the success of your peers becomes fuel for your own growth as opposed to the source of your insecurities

“ Human beings can’t help but compare themselves to others. Comparison is the deadliest thing we can do to ourselves because we will always come up short. All it does is exaggerate all of our insecurities. It is okay to enjoy other people’s success but you let them live their lives meanwhile you are living yours. By the way, they are curating their social media, that is not their real life. So, you are making decisions based on how you feel, based on their curated things. I know somebody, who is out of work, really depressed and yet, she goes and does all these things, so she has the appearance of this amazing successful life. Who knows what sort of weird, twisted, exaggerated circle of depression it is forming. Go back to the rules of the infinite game - your friends are there to admire, to learn from.”
