The comparison trap…

Comparison is the thief of joy.

— Theodore Roosevelt 

The process of constantly evaluating our own behaviour, thoughts, emotions, relationships, jobs, houses, clothes, looks, lives to each other is one of the most damaging internal narratives we can have.

— Dr Amy Silver

I don’t care who is doing better than me. 

I am dong better than I was last year.

It’s me vs me.

— Unknown

I like the idea of me vs me, and I’ll definitely try to remember the cost of comparison… having said that, I’m in business development and sales people are most definitely ranked, based on performance, on an ongoing basis. My sister and I have also been compared, based on looks, throughout our lives. (And my poor brother compared, or rather criticized, based on looks as well. So mean). Clearly society tends to rank and judge us. I guess it’s up to us as individuals to maintain perspective and not allow ourselves to  be defined by how we look or what we own. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
