Comparison is exhausting. It sinks your joy. There will always be someone that has something better than you.

Comparison is toxic and from a Christian perspective is one way of not trusting God's ways and what he wants of us.
What an awesome advice from this Gentleman.

"And of course your life will be so miserable if you just compare yourself to differente people at their perfect side. That's way that everytime when I believe that my life is miserable I tried to see things from more angles, and honestly everytime when I do this I realise that there is something I can be greatful for"

This insight and advice was profoundly helpful. I have been so exhausted of comparing myself with others and what others value. I feel like I could be aware of anything else and it has become a profound issue. But I have to learn to be more aware of my own values, "wins", growth. i think if you practice asking yourself those 2 questions everyday (what did you learn? What did you improve?) your life will profoundly improve as you are more aware of your own successes and positive qualities instead of others'.

Too much comparison can end up blocking your authentic self.

I loved this video! As someone in their late 20's, at the absoloute peak of comparison to everyone around them in their lives, this really spoke so true to me. Anyone know does this guy have social media/ links to other talks he did? i cant find anything online about him!

[widen_inhorizons]

One of the best ted talks I have watched. Thank you for your talk

[crisleyraon]

You just saved my life. I needed this.

[MeccaWillowAli-cgqv]

At no point in your life, should you ever measure yourself against other people .

[Trendsetic]

Great talk! I never thought about how we compare ourselves to the .01 percent. It's true. It's a type of madness.

Comparison has been imbibed in our core when parents say, "After 10 years you will see Mr Neighbour's son in BMW and owning a big house. How will you feel then...."

Inspiring and calming at the same time

Comparing peoples here in Indonesia are common, even in the family parent could compare their childrens which kids are the best in everything and parent would treat this kid better than others kids who are in their opninion just average, this could create envy and traumatic experience, but seems no one care about this problem, maybe human enjoy watching someone feel bad about themselves, it makes them feel better.

Comparison is a major way we learn. We are born learners. We learn significantly by observation. What is someone doing, what’s the result, can I learn this. It’s a huge part of our development. A lifelong skill. Why do you think U tube is probably the number 1 place for learning new stuff. The joy of watching an expert perform! Mentoring. Coaching.
Of course it’s a double edged sword. Growing up in dysfunctional homes( all are on a sliding scale) we start using our fantastic skill in a negative way usually to conform. The education system, social media, advertising all programme us in “a negative comparison culture. This stifles our creativity.
But let’s not throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Use our “comparison” skills wisely with awareness to benefit ourselves and others.
