Stop Comparing Yourself to Others



Stop Comparing Yourself to Others


We are all different yet we have a tendency to compare ourselves to others. It's human nature, and while learning from others is an important part of critical decision making, if it is used to reinforce an unrealistic or negative self-image it can be an unhealthy habit to get into.




Much like people, apples and oranges are part of the same family, but are so different that it's pointless to compare them.  To get out of that habit you must do a couple of things. 1. Recognize that comparing yourself to others is a bad habit. 2. Realize that everybody is different, because we are. & 3. Stop being afraid to be yourself.






When you use others as your measuring stick, you usually come up short. You convince yourself you’re not as clever, beautiful, thin or talented.


Equating yourself with others eats away at your confidence and leaves you feeling inferior.


Remind yourself of these simple truths. You are a unique and special person, exactly as you are. You’re one-of-a-kind and you’re irreplaceable.


It's better to be the original you than to be a copy of somebody else.


Be Blessed, Be Encouraged & Be a Blessing
