Comparing Yourself to Others: Setting Realistic Goals
When setting goals for yourself, it is important to compare yourself to who you were yesterday rather than comparing yourself to others. Comparing yourself to high-performing individuals who have already achieved a great deal can be demoralizing and unfair, as they have likely put in countless hours of practice and have had experiences that you have not. Instead, focus on your own talents, possibilities, limitations, and opportunities. Ask yourself if you can improve in some dimension compared to who you were in the past. The answer is usually yes. By setting realistic goals based on self-improvement, you can make progress and achieve success.
