Are You Competing Against Yourself?
In the modern era, we often compare our perceived failures with the highlight reels of others' lives on social media. However, the reality is that we are only ever truly competing against ourselves. Individual comparison is more accurate than group categorization because our lives are unique with a specific set of opportunities and limitations. Wealth and success are not always indicative of a life free from challenges, and comparing ourselves to others on a single dimension overlooks the complexities of individual experiences. Instead of feeling envious, it is essential to focus on our own journey and understand that everyone carries burdens that we may not see.
