Comparing alone is a whole package of destructive effects to us as humans, if we fall preys to it's devices, we stand the chance of be complete delusion from the reality of life.

You came to this world alone and you shall die alone as well, comparing yourself with others is a complete waste of time I must tell you.

Does it sound fair to always see yourself as a stone in a weighing balance waiting to be through off balance with the qualities you lack, I mean It's definitely not your fault that your peers are farther ahead than you are, at least in that context, if we're being just to us, you'd realise that in certain areas of our lives we're better than those we compare ourselves to.

Giving a certain tag to our entire personality is a messed up thing to even think about in the first place.

Comparing yourself with others can be likened to termites chewing on a dead log of wood, it starts with a simple harmless tickling feeling, camouflaged with an Innocent need for a realistic feedback on your progress in life and subsequently lands you in a state of ultimate self-skepticism.

We often forget that life happens on its own accord and that we have no single control at least over what progress our peers makes in comparison with ours.

The situation gets even worse with biased comparison, which to be frank is the genre of almost all our comparison in life. Why do you fail to realise that at the very least you and the person in the comparison quote don't experience the exact same life circumstances, plus you are made uniquely to tackle situation the ways you best see fit.

Comparison is simply for those who haven't figured out that the race of life is justified at the finish lane and not at the start or even middle. Situations take wild turns even at dying moments, you can't judge your entire life based on where you're presently at.

The end simply justifies the means.

You're only licensed to compared yourself with the person you're were yesterday and that which you want to be prospectively, and subsequently focus on filling the gap between your dream self.

It has never been about how far you've come, but rather how well.

Hopefully, you gain a mindset shift from these two stand point, and slowly navigate towards a better perception of yourself.

One simply factor that could completely annihilate your potential success in life is your Awful perception of yourself. Not just that it instills unnecessary stagnation in your life, it also clouds your mind and gratitude, impeding you from being grateful for how far you've come in life and how better of a person you've become.

Success to different individuals has varieties of meaning, but one universal identification is that it doesn't necessary mean being at the finish line or holding the golden trophy, Something as simple as being sane in mindset, in a crazy world like ours or simply building a beautiful family is pure success.

Immense success to be precise, So congratulate yourself.

Although the accomplishments of your goals is quite pertinent to going higher on the ladder of life, Learn to acknowledge the little trophies life awards you, doing this allows you the momentum you need to keep pacing in life.

Even if you're compelled to involve comparison in your life, have it be constructive, i.e in search of feedback on your progress in life in order to make improvement.

Hopefully, this helps get you through that skeptic low confident stage in life you're at presently and allows you be more confident in you and every thing you're all about.

See You next time dear.
