Stop comparing and start being at peace

Comparing Yourself to Others: The Root Cause of Unhappiness and Stres                       

                                       

                                       

                                                     

                                     

In today’s world where social media shows everyone’s “perfect life”, it has become very common to compare ourselves to others. But this comparison gradually destroys our happiness and makes our mind restless.

                                 

Why do we compare?

Looking at the success of others:

When we see someone moving ahead, we think — “Why couldn’t I do that?”

The Glitter of Social Media:

We see the smiles, holidays, cars and achievements of others, but not their struggles. 

Our insecurities:

When we don't accept ourselves fully, we start looking for our "flaws" in others.

But what is the effect of comparison?

Loss of self-confidence

Gradual loss of happiness

Increase in stress and anxiety

Despair and self-destructive behavior

What to do? What is the solution?

Compete with yourself, not with others.

Try to be better than you were yesterday every day.

Practice gratitude.

Appreciate what you have first.

Stay away from social media.

Live in real life, not in the glamour of the fake world.

Trust in your journey.

Everyone's timing is different, every fruit ripens at its own time.

An inspiring line:

"Comparison only increases stress, contentment beautifies life."
