Don't Let These Thieves Rob You Off

It often happens that we compare ourself to others. Yes, from the young ages we are taught to compare us, to live in competition. Let me say to you, sometimes it's not bad. But this is not on what I want to focus on now. I am talking from the wrong comparing.

He/she has this beautiful profession what should actually be mine.
She is already married and has children; she has such a great figure. I can't compete with her.

He has so many followers, why are they even following him? I am better than him.
More and more....

Does something sound familiar to you?
If not, then think about it when you compared yourself to someone else. It happens so fast.

If you are someone who is following me for a particular time you know that I am coming from the sports industry. As I was young, I knew that not every player would be accepted for the next year.

If you are not good enough, you will be sorted out. I saw it every year that players and friends had to leave us because the club wanted it.The hard reality on the way to a professional soccer player.

Knowing that we watched and compared each other although we were playing on the same team.

I am better than him, look what he is doing. I am definitely better.

In the sports industry, the circumstances are trying to put you in a mode where you always compare yourself with others in a wrong way. Not only in sports in almost every area.

If there is a bad way, there must also be a right way.

When you look at someone with the intention to learn from him or her and not to condemn or to justify your own stand and situation it's a different situation.

You know that you can get something from this person, something you want to implement because you are sure that it helps you, it will make your own way better, and the focus is still on you, how you can improve yourself.

With bad comparison, you lay the focus on other persons. Different feelings are coming together. Envy, jealousy, lack of understanding, anger. You are the one who will lose. They will put you in a prison and your thoughts are always of other people. The focus is on what they but they dont deserve it in your opinion.

These bad feelings are...

.

They rob your energy, drag you deeper into these unfruitful comparisons. If you see that person made a new post with tons of upvotes and you don't understand why. You begin to question yourself again, you start comparing you again. If a situation is like it is, why not accepting it like it is and try to make the best out of it? Why waste so much energy on comparing yourself to others.

There are people who try to tell you that you should be like this or like that. And you see people who fulfill these requirements. And now what? It doesn't matter. You are not obliged to fulfill the exact requirements. You are also worthy without them.

You are a special one, you are unique, and you should stay the same like you are. I am not telling you shouldn't learn new things. Of course, you should, but what I want to tell you is that you don't need to compare yourself with others in an evil way. When I say evil way, then I mean when you feel the feelings I mentioned above rising inside of you. If you noticed that turn your back to them, focus on that what you can change, see yourself in a positive​ and beautiful way.

There will always be someone who is better than you in a specific matter. This is normal also if it is just a bit. If you want to compare yourself with other then in a right way. With a learn willing heart.

Thanks for reading.
