Comparison is a thief of joy. Over time, I realized I was spending a lot of time looking at where others were at in their business, or their lifestyles, and thinking “how can I obtain that?” or “How is this person at this point?”
Never once was I considering what it took that person to get to where they currently are. It’s easy to get wrapped up in social media and see the highlight reels of where other people, or competitors, are at. And that’s in any industry.
But we have to remember that everyone started somewhere. Of course my Day 3 is not going to compare to someone else’s Day 300.
As business owners, it’s important to focus on our own expertise and what we can we bring to the table. Know that you are not someone else, and no one else is you. You bring your own value, your own mind, and your own skills.
I personally learned to practice gratitude, and to spend less time scrolling when I felt my mind going more towards “I wish I had”instead of an inspirational “I like that content” mindset.
Here’s your reminder that you’re doing a great job. You’re showing up and you’re growing every day. Be in tune with that and your success will surely follow.
