Comparing your weakness with others' strengths or comparing a thing you do not have as compared to others would not help you stay happy.
Every dish, every food has a special and unique ingredient, a special flavor, a different smell; likewise, every person is different and unique.
TAKE SOME TIME AND ASK YOURSELF?
That have you ever compared a lion with a tiger or paper with a pen, or have you ever compared day with a night, or else have you ever tried to compare stars with sun ??? A simple answer would be NO.
BUT WHY THE ANSWER IS NO, WE DO COMPARE OURSELF WITH OTHERS, THEN WHY NOT THIS?
We all know that the examples stated above have their own uniqueness; they have their own importance. They have their own strengths and weakness. Similarly, we also have our own importance, our own uniqueness, our own strengths.
THERE ARE MANY QUALITIES TO COMPARE OURSELF WITH OTHERS, AND WITH THIS, THERE ARE INFINITE PEOPLE TO COMPARE WITH, BUT YOU SHOULD STOP DOING THIS AND SHOULD START FOCUSING ON YOURSELF.
SHORTCOMINGS OF COMPARISON
1. TAKES OUR VALUABLE TIME:- In a day, there are 86400 seconds, And we very easily waste this time comparing ourselves with others And thinking about this the whole day. But if instead of doing this, if we work on ourselves and improve our skills, it would benefit us on a large scale.
2. IT DAMAGES US:- Research has found that compared with others and thinking about it breeds our feelings of envy,low-self confidence, depression, as well as it slows down our ability to trust others.
3. LOST OF SELF VALUE: Comparison with others helps us feel that we are not up to the mark and are very done. And somehow, it leads to depression or unstoppable thoughts, which affects us mentally and physically.
EVERYTHING HAVE SOME IFS AND BUTS, SO NOW LET'S SEE SOME OF THE POINT TO OVERCOME THIS THING.
HELPING POINTS TO STOP COMPARING
1. YOU ARE YOUR COMPETITION:- First and foremost, you should take yourself as your competition and take your past to compare your present with. This would help you to understand your strengths and weakness. Make yourself better than your previous day.
2. THIS IS NOT AN END:- Your present things or the place where you are standing right own are just a small snapshot, and the whole film is left, so rather than just comparing and focusing on others, try to focus on yourself.
3. TAKE IT AS A INSPIRATION:- We should take the comparison as an inspiration; we always tend to compare our small moments with someones else big moments, we focus on peoples fame, money, name, but we do not focus on the behind the scenes, the hard work, the long working hours. So instead of comparing, criticizing, yourself stand up and start doing something good.
A CHEETAH, WHILE RUNNING, DOES NOT THINK OF OTHER COMPETITORS; HE FOCUSES ON HIS SPEED.
