From the time we are small, we learn to compare ourselves to others.

At a young age, it is our way of making sense of things, of figuring out our place in the world.

This can be fine if you have a strong sense of self and self-esteem.

However, if in comparing yourself to others, you decide that you are NOT as good as others, or not as capable, nor as likely to succeed, it can be very detrimental.

• should give you perspective
• can rob your happiness if you are not careful
• can be a giant waste of energy and time

As we get older and develop a stronger sense of self, knowing that comparing ourselves to others is NO longer necessary can be a very powerful and liberating concept.

You can have many small victories along the way and allow yourself to celebrate them.
