The Comparison Game! It's time to stop comparing yourself to others. Here's how!

<h3>The Comparison Conversation</h3> <p>Don’t compare me to them.</p> <p>Have your ever thought or said that? We don’t want others to compare us, yet we compare ourselves.</p> <p>We set standards for ourselves based on what others are doing and if we aren’t doing as great as it appears others in our view finder are, we don’t think we’re good enough.</p> <h3>Comparison Must Stop</h3> <p>This game of comparison must stop.</p> <p>It is not healthy.</p> <h3>I'm Guilty Too</h3> <p>I’m just as guilty as you are.</p> <p>You know that feeling when you see something on social media or an email pops into your inbox, and you get a knot in your stomach because it looks like “she” is doing so much more and having such great success that you begin to focus on what she is doing instead of what you should be doing?</p> <p>Words start swirling around in your head like why should I try, I’ll never be able to do that.  I’ll never be able to achieve that.  Where would I even begin to do that?  I don’t know how. All the negative thoughts that can bury our confidence and ability to take action.</p> <h3>That Comparison Feeling</h3> <p>I’ve had that feeling so many times!</p> <p>And it wasn’t until recently that I could actually look at social media and think “good for her”!  She’s killing it and it’s cool to watch instead of thinking “shoot, I better do this, or I better do that, or I’ll never be good enough”.</p> <p>Or, worse, feeling like a total failure because I wasn’t doing whatever it was and was too afraid to do it.</p> <p>It’s time we all realize that we each have a unique path we are meant to travel, and that path is going to lead us to a destination of success if we simply stay focused on what we can control and not on what others are doing.</p> <p>I know you’ve heard me say it before, but it warrants being said again…we each have unique gifts that are meant to serve specific people.</p> <p>This is all predetermined.   It’s up to us to take the action needed to use the gifts, apply our talents and serve the people that we are
