Comparison: The Thief of Joy

Comparison can be detrimental as it takes away from our own joy. When we excessively compare ourselves to others, we shift focus from our lives to theirs, diminishing our happiness and success. This toxic habit leads us to feel inadequate and diminishes our motivation to pursue our own goals. Additionally, comparison often robs us of living in the present moment by clouding our minds with unnecessary judgments and distractions.
