Creative Capital Podcast 131: Don't Play The Comparison Game

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome back to this week's segment of the No Limit Minute for the Creative Capital Podcast. Today, I want to talk about my takeaway from the book The Gap and The Gain. At this day and age, a huge chunk of our time is dedicated on the Internet and most of the time, we get to see the highlight reels of our friends, family, and strangers alike. While it’s a good thing to be updated with these people’s life through a screen, more often than not, we tend to compare our life to what we see on the Internet. And that is exactly what I want to expound on today–that we should focus on our life’s gain as opposed to pinpointing and stressing out over the gaps. And in doing so, you might be surprised with how much you have actually achieved.
