The Most Dangerous Game You Can Ever Play (95% of People DO This & They Don't Even Know)
The most dangerous game you can ever play ...
One that will either propel you forward towards higher success
Or hinder you into self-doubt, anxiety, and failure...
.. is the game of comparison.
Comparison acts as a double-blade sword.
On one side, you have Social Comparison.
This is where you start looking at what your competitors are doing.
You see them post their client wins.. the stripe payments.. the bank accounts.
And you think "Damn, I need to keep up"
I need to post more... sell more... do more.
Next thing you know, you're pushing yourself to work 12-hour days.
Skipping out on dinners.
Neglecting friends so that you can "keep up" in the marketplace
This is NOT a formula to build a successful business or life.
Comparison, when used in this way, is the thief of joy.
When you take your worth and measure it against other ppl's successes
It doesn’t serve you
It doesn’t empower you
Rather, it hinders you.
It keeps you in a state of scarcity, fear, and anxiety.
On the flip side, you have Self Comparison.
This is where you compare your current version of yourself,
... to that old version of you from 1, 3, or 5 years ago.
It's where you look back at your old values & standards for yourself
... and compare it to your current standards and value.
When you do this, this is where the magic happens.
You are able to see the core fundamental changes in your BEING as a human
You can see the difference in identity, thinking, and attitude.
And it shows you how much you've grown as a person.
When you use comparison in this way... You start to see PROGRESS along your journey.
And it's that progress that motivates you to strive for more progress.
(thus creating an endless loop of motivation and momentum)
At the end of the day, the game of comparison will either serve you, or hinder you.
Comparison is but another tool in your arsenal.
"A sword is only as good as the person who wields it."
So wield it wisely.
