Comparison is one more thing that I’ve always struggled with. As long as I can remember I have compared myself to others and felt bad about myself as an effect from that comparison. My first memory of this was one of my first memories - in daycare at the tender age of 3ish. My best friend had another friend and I wanted to be the one and only friend (also not good at sharing apparently). I would compare myself to this third girl and try to be cooler to win my friend back. First off, the only way you can be cooler is to be more of yourself. I truly mean that. I know some people that are sooo weird but they are truly themselves and I’m obsessed with them. Own it! Second off, I was developing a super unhealthy relationship with comparison that would continue for years.
At the RISE conference I learned that I wasn’t just comparing myself to those ahead of me and feeling bad about it, I was also comparing myself to those behind me on their journey and letting it stroke my ego. Feeling so good about myself because I’m ahead of someone else. But either way it’s a waste of time and a distraction. I’m not where I want to be and I won’t get there by looking at and focusing on those around me. I have to put my head down and run my race. And you have to do the same.
