Comparing to Others Meditation

Every so often I get a really good question from a listener and this one was a doozy! The question was this - Why do we always want to "win" and compare ourselves to others? What are we really doing? How can we evaluate or recognise our achievements and actually feel good about them, instead of feeling like we still have not done enough? - This one resonates so strongly and I'm so grateful to the listener for this question. I hope that I have done it justice!

When we compare ourselves to others we are putting ourselves in a place of "less than" but only on the basis of social comparison. Deep down we are all human with the same flaws, emotions, needs and desires - just all jumbled up a little differently. This requires us to work on compassion - for others and most importantly for ourselves. The only person who is living your life experience is yourself. No one else had your upbringing (not even your siblings!), or your experiences, no one else has your unique combination of talents, fears, insecurities, and strengths! So the only person with whom you can really compare yourself with is you! The you of last month or last year - this is where we start to see our growth, to see where we have achieved things that past us might have been too afraid to do. The fact that you listen to this podcast is enough to let you know that you are seeking a better, stronger, more evolved and peaceful version of yourself! You are enough.

Much love
