Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another
——Marquis de Condorcet
If you took the strengths of others, and compared them to your weaknesses, do you think
this would make you feel good? The funny thing is, this is 36 most of us do at one time or
another—and some of us do pretty 37 .
It’s surely a practice for a(n) 38 in self‐confidence and for unhappiness. Let’s say I take a
look at someone who creates 39 artwork on their website and I look at my art, and realize I
don’t come _40 _ to being matched with him. In fact, I look pretty pitiful. But it’s not a fair
41 . If I looked at my strengths—writing useful and honest posts—I can see that I have a lot to
offer, a lot to be happy about.
That’s so important—being able to look at your own strengths, and see your true 42 . It’s
actually one of the 43 to success and happiness.
I want to talk about this issue 44 an email from a reader recently: I have some teammates
from very rich families, I can’t stop myself comparing my lifestyle with 45 . I must say that my
46 planning is sound enough to take care of my existing family; and I can take care of new
family members also, at least for 47 even if I lose my current job. But 48 I see or hear them
spending so much money after possessions, I start comparing 49 . How can I stop this habit,
without changing jobs?
This is an excellent but tough 50 . I think it’s 51 to compare ourselves to others, but it
often makes us unhappy even if we have enough and 52 be happy with what we have. My
quick advice: try to be aware of when you start comparing yourself to others… once you’ve
developed this 53 , stop yourself and tell yourself, “Stop that!” And then 54 thinking about
all the things you do have, the things you love, the people you have and the blessings that 55
has given you. Make this a regular practice, and you’ll start to be happier with your life.
