I struggle a lot with comparison and to better cope with it, I try to remind myself to compare myself to who I was from yesterday, not others. The inner giant inside you needs to grow its teeth by facing the things you don’t want to. Be selfish of your time and acknowledge the cruelty of your mind. At times, I feel like what I do is meaningless, not good enough, and constantly compare with those on the top of the hierarchy. However, I recognize that I’m changing and willing to be vulnerable enough to climb a ladder I don’t want to climb which is much meaningful to me. No matter where you are in life, comparing will only deprive you of your happiness, however, you define it. As long as YOU value the work and can shield that belief, nobody can take it away from you. This idea has allowed me to better cope with comparison and I hope it sheds some light. I wrestle with a lot of negative emotions but slowly by acknowledging them and wanting to change, I feel as if I better understand them and the value of the opposite of comparisons such as innovation, uniqueness, creativity, and the beautiful parts of human nature.
