ADVICE

Stop Comparing: The Thief of Joy

🙅 Avoid comparing yourself to others, especially on social media, where people present filtered versions of their lives: "They've taken 900 pictures to post that one, then they threw a filter on it."
🙅 Don't compare your present circumstances to a romanticized past or a different relationship: "You compare your current relationship with someone to the exact same relationship you had with them except when it started."
🙅 Comparing yourself to others robs you of joy and sabotages your happiness.
🙅 People who self-sabotage tend to focus on the past, what they lack, and make comparisons.
✅ Focus on your own journey and appreciate your present.
✅ Remember that everyone has struggles, even if they don't show them publicly.

Key Takeaway: Comparison is the thief of joy. Embrace your reality and stop comparing yourself to others or to a different point in your life.
