“Comparison is the fastest way to take the fun out of life”.
Ever do something and have a great time doing it, and then look to your neighbour who is doing something similar, but it looks better?
How quickly does that deflate your fun balloon?
I’ve seen myself do it oodles of times.
I will write something, create something, do something and be happy and proud of it.
Only to see someone did it better, faster, more creatively, more professional looking.
And all the fun, all the pride, all the accomplishment I initially had seems to disappear.
Quickly.
While looking around can give us good ideas, it can also rob us of the joy we can feel.
Stay focused on YOU. Stay focused on your goals. Stay focused on your fun.
