If you go to any social network or watch an advertisement, you will see how perfectly others live and compare yourself to them.

This is inevitable, but why do people do it?

Maybe they also want to be as successful and rich as those they saw on the screens?

Few people are motivated to take action by such a comparison; as a rule, people feel inferior and become depressed.

But is it possible to stop comparing yourself to others? Every person is unique. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, people dream about something, are passionate about something.

And when you compare yourself to others, you forget about your desires and strive for generally accepted illusory standards that are dictated by society, and not by what you would like.

But how do you stop comparing yourself to others? Recognize your individuality.

You are not someone's copy, but a unique individual with your own unique set of qualities that make you special. So focus on the good things about you.

Instead of comparing yourself to others, think about what you're good at.

Practice gratitude. Be grateful for your talents, for all the good things that life gives you. Do small acts of kindness, they are not as trivial as they may seem at first glance.

Remember your calling. You have been given the chance to walk your own unique path in life, so do not compare yourself to others and stop striving for an illusory ideal.

When you stop comparing yourself to others, you learn to value yourself for who you are and strive for your own goals that are based on your personal values and beliefs.

Happy people do not look back at the successes and failures of others, they live their own lives and are grateful for everything they have.
