Do you want to know whether it is good or bad to compare yourself to others? People often say that stop comparing yourself to others. So why is that?

When you compare yourself to others, you put someone in higher position or lower position. If you see someone has something that you don’t have, you have a desire to get that. Most of time you forget to ask yourself whether you really need that or not. You have to get that because someone who is in the similar position like yours has that.

You try to find a way to get that fast so that you feel better and show it to others. If you are always in a comparison game like that, you will get in trouble sooner or later. Eventually you will buy something that you cannot afford. To buy that, you might take loan from bank. Now you have to pay the loan with interest. And your expenditure will increase to maintain your higher status. That might put in a vulnerable situation financially.

You feel pretty bad when you compare yourself to others because you see only what other people have that you don’t have. The grass is always greener on the other side. As a result, you are not happy for what you have. You spend your time and energy to focus on others. The thing is, the time you spend comparing yourself and what someone else has, you can spend the time to make something on your own.

You may have different experience and different way of seeing everything. There is always someone who is faster than you, smarter than you, prettier than you, but no one will ever be the unique blend of you. You are unique. You can do something that nobody did before.

Comparing yourself can be a good thing if you can motivate yourself to move forward and achieve your goals. Comparing yourself to others could show you where you are and what you have to do to get to the next level. You can compare yourself to the person you were yesterday and track your progress to get better.

So comparing yourself itself is not good or bad. It is a tool that you can use. It’s up to you how to use it. It may work to your advantage or disadvantage. You are in control. You can give direction to it.

Yes, we do. Everyone is unique. What you get of comparing yourself, that's important. You should not compare yourself to others if that puts you down.
