You fail when you compare yourself with others

in Self Improvement2 years ago

People's lives are not equal, attitudes, tastes and family background, there are people who don't want little things in their life, all they want are big things, however, that is their life and because it is their life, it is normal for them.

But a person starts to fail once they start to have the mentality of comparing themselves to another, and this attitude will do nothing but make the person feel lost, like all the things in the world they had done are not working for their own good.

My father used to tell me not to compare myself with anybody in life, he made it clear to me that every stage of life comes with different challenges.

So I should know what I am pursuing so that I don't get hurt in whatever I do, a man who is contented will be happy wherever he goes and nothing like comparison will be there in his mind.

We used to hear on air about the crisis of two brothers fighting over inheritance, maybe one of the sons refused to take his share of the family belongings, that is because the one who refused to take his share could be the younger one.

For the fact that he refused to take his share of the property, means he is comparing himself with his brother who is his senior, and that would make him create enmity with his brother, if none of them were the type that does not set eyes on another person's belongings, there would be no problem.

Everything about comparing ourselves to others is related to the way we feel, I like myself because I will never allow such thoughts to enter my head.

It is okay to give respect to whoever deserves it but at the same time we should not compare ourselves to anyone because comparison is never a thing that brings good rather than destruction.

Comparison comes mainly through assets or anything that can be converted into money, however, the key to happiness is not through money, but by having an inner peace, money comes in its own time, as long as we keep doing our best.
