Here's why you should stop comparing yourself to others

We live in a world where the competition to become the best of best is extremely fierce. Competitors are all around, striving hard to gain perfection in life. So, it becomes quite natural for us to compare ourselves to others in terms of appearance, talent, personality and other qualities. But, is it healthy to do so? We are already aware that the answer is 'no'.

1. It's toxic!

Comparing yourself to others is highly toxic. It can be a threat to our healthy minds. Too much of comparison can lead to deadly illnesses like depression, anxiety, stress etc. Even though, comparing yourself to others is a common dilemma we all have to go through at some point in our lives, we have to be sure that we make peace with it quickly and keep it under control. If we fail to do that, things will easily fall apart in our lives. So, shout-out a big 'no-no' to comparing yourself to others.

2. It's pointless!

While comparing ourselves to others, we just can't help but feel envy towards certain people as some of their qualities may seem beyond our reach. But, while sobbing over a flaw of ours and comparing it with a person who might not have that particular flaw, we are forgetting the fact that the same person might probably be dealing with similar troubles. Then, what's the whole point of comparing yourself to others? It's completely pointless.

Instead of degrading ourselves while listing out the cons of our lives and comparing ourselves to others, we should start a new competition, a battle with ourselves. Everyday, our motive should aim to become the best version of ourselves. So, what's the wait for? Let the battle begin!
