Comparing yourself to others is a dangerous battle that you will never, ever win. When you do this, you are cheating yourself in many ways. Our minds like to rank ourselves. We like to know where we stand in connection with our peers, but this can be taken too far, for several reasons. It's one of the worst things you can do to yourself. If you get into the habit of comparing yourself to those around you, you will fail in life, because success is not found in comparisons, but in doing the best that you can with the life you are given.
You are not in competition with anyone on earth. Your life is yours and yours alone to live. Everyone is at a different place, and you never know what someone else is really going through, so it's best to just keep your eyes ahead of you, not looking to the left or to the right.
Chances are very good that you are comparing yourself using irrational, unfair criteria.
Focus on competition has always been a formula for mediocrity. ~ @DanielBurrus
One of the reasons we compare ourselves to others is we are under the impression, either real or imagined, that the person with whom we are competing is in some way superior to us.
