The other day, I read an article by Claire Musters called "Don't Compare." She said that comparing herself to others was something she did "throughout" her life. So have I, and so have millions of others. This got me thinking: what self help is out there to solve this problem? A simple Google search revealed a whole lot. The expression "beating a dead horse" doesn't even compare to how many times people have talked about this subject. There are so many articles written by people who have all experienced the same thing and how they overcame it. You could spend your entire life reading them.
So why do I bring it up? It's because despite all the help that's out there, people still struggle with comparing themselves to others. Some people don't notice it. For others, it's a glaring issue. Maybe we're trying too hard. Perhaps we need to look at it from a different angle.
