Becoming self-aware sounds like a great thing until that awareness includes your limitations. These things hold me back. They follow me everywhere I go because I drag them along.
- Comparing my income to theirs
- Comparing my marriage to theirs
- Comparing my home to theirs
- Comparing my gifts to theirs
- Comparing my friends to theirs
- Comparing my website to theirs
- Comparing my writing to theirs
- Comparing my email list to theirs
- Comparing my teeth to theirs
- Comparing my achievements to theirs
My four-year-old could find that theme. Comparison holds me back.
No catchy ending to this post, sorry. No quick fix. No seven step method to overcome comparison.
I wrestle with it. It holds me back. I’ll keep fighting it because I’m self-aware.
That’s a good start. Keep fighting yours too.
