The Comparison Game

​The comparison game is a losing endeavor. We can be better at some things than others, but there will be others who are better than we are at the things we think we are good at. Comparisons involve our egos, and when the ego gets involved everyone loses. We are who and what we are, and when we are able to accept that we are perfectly imperfectly and stop comparing ourselves to others, we will find peace. Another idea to consider is that we might have been wrong about ourselves. When we compare ourselves, we might think we aren’t good at something because someone can do it so much better, and we quit before giving it a real effort. We don’t have to be an expert at something to enjoy it. Let’s be ourselves and stop the comparison game.
