Comparing yourself to others is a complete waste of time, it sucks the joy out of things, and it's killing your dreams... yet we all do it.

With social media, it's so easy to look at everyone else and compare our lives to theirs.

Most likely, the people you compare yourself to are the people who are living out your dream and have something that you want. And we all have certain areas of life and ourselves that we compare the most.

For example, I compare myself to younger people who have achieved things much sooner than I did. People who have what I want.

But we have to realise that comparison halts us. Comparing ourselves to others kills our dreams and stops us from achieving the things that are important to us.

Negative emotions and thoughts creep in and it makes us question ourselves and what we're doing, and ultimately, we stop.

Comparion sucks the joy out of things we love, it makes us believe we're not good enough and will never achieve what we want, and it stops us from going after those things.

For some, it can be a form of motivation, which is great - use it if that's you. But if it cripples you, you need to make some changes.

Remind yourself that it's better to achieve the things you wanted later than you would have liked, than to regret never going after it or giving up too soon.

And remember that everyone's journey is different and to appreciate how your journey is unfolding. Trust.

Easier said than done, but practice makes progress.
