How do I stop comparing myself to others?

So we all do it. I think that’s the first step to letting go of being so hard on yourself.

It’s the same with meditation and teaching it. So many people constantly tell me they think too much or non-stop or they just can’t stop having racing thoughts.

I share with them that this is the nature of the mind. And we all do this. It’s not unique to them. And they know this already, but being told this gives them a sense of awareness and acceptance that perhaps they didn’t feel before.

The same goes with us being our own greatest critics and with us wanting to be like the other guy or wanting what someone else has. We are constantly comparing ourselves and our lives to others.

We are unique beautiful creatures here on our own individual journeys with our own paths to chart and our own challenges to overcome.

We have our own set of circumstances, skills and gifts. Why would we ever want to be like everyone else or think we are remotely comparable to another. We are our own beautiful awesome self. Let’s start owning it.

HOW CAN I STOP COMPARING MYSELF TO OTHERS?

Never compare yourself to anyone. The beauty of you is that you are a unique creation. There is absolutely no one on this earth who comes remotely close to you.

Your uniqueness is your superpower. Own it. Run with it. Honor it.

You are here to be your own unique self. You are not here to copy others or try to be like others.

Be your own authentic self.

That is where you will be most powerful and thrive in life.

You have to honor yourself and your own internal awesomeness. You are so special. Never try to be like others or compare yourself to others.

You are here to be your most awesome you. Don’t worry about them. Work on you and make yourself and your life the most awesome thing imaginable.

You so got this.
