Comparison has a bad reputation. People say it’s the thief of joy.
And that’s true – when you compare big things: your career, your marriage, your net worth. That kind of comparison can drain you fast.
👉 Two takeaways for you:
· Notice where you compare broadly. Does it fuel your joy, or does it drain you?
If it drains you, let it go.
· Choose one area you want to improve. Study someone who’s ahead of you in just that narrow skill.
Broad comparison steals joy. Narrow comparison teaches mastery.
The difference is not whether you compare, but where.
