We can choose between two outcomes when digesting the progress that others have made; we can compare ourselves to them and decide that we are less than while making excuses or we can use their gains as a source of inspiration! Or perhaps a third option?… compare yourself with.. yourself! One could argue that comparing yourself to others is illogical as we are different in every conceivable and should therefore not begin to impose others’ values on ourselves by making these comparisons.
Instead, ask yourself what is meaningful to you… create your goal… and set out to kick your own ass! There is nothing more meaningful than choosing a path, picking it up to contend with daily and struggling through the challenges to find yourself achieving beyond your own expectations. Don’t forget to enjoy the process of struggle in the name of your goals; progress is not easy! Reframe the suffering in the moment into something that will fuel you; this is the stuff of real growth and progress!
