Comparing Ourselves to Others

I recently heard a powerful phrase: The more time you spend trying to be someone else, the less time you spend being who you are. So often many of us compare ourselves to someone else. We compare our looks, our successes, our material goods, our money, and even our whole lives to those of others. No only do we compare ourselves to those who we deem “better, more beautiful, healthier, or happier” than us, but we also compare ourselves to those we deem “less, uglier, unhealthier, or unhappier” than us – which makes us feel better about ourselves. But you see, if we constantly compare ourselves to “better” or “worse” others, we will constantly try to become someone else rather than try to become the best version of OURSELVES. Let’s spend more time being who we want to be, and less time comparing ourselves to others and trying to be someone who we’re not.
