The MOST Self-Destructive Habit | Simon Sinek

Comparing ourselves to others might be natural, but it's also deadly. By taking an infinite approach, and reframing your competitors as worthy rivals, the success of your peers becomes fuel for your own growth as opposed to the source of your insecurity.

I do not compare with anyone but I have a destructive habit of comparing my current situation with an ideal myself that I want to be. It is really deadly.

It's healthy to grow our strengths rather then be intimidated by the strengths of others.
Love this speech, very deep and humble person! 😊😊😊

Got to respect his honesty, especially when he almost belittles himself to help and advise others.

"Comparison exaggerates our insecurities."

I’m not only loving your stories but also they way you’re delivering them! 😊

[sarasmith]

We are all on our own paths. Your path has nothing to do with my path, and my path has nothing to do with your path. There’s no point in comparing.

Takes a *LOT* of _heart, _ openig up to his "foe" the way he did ... + in front of an audience!

Comparing is the thief of Joy. Indeed, it is one of those battles you cannot win 🖖

This is nothing but a hell of a masterpiece.

I just had probably the best 3 minutes of my life.

It's healthy to grow our own strengths, rather than be intimated by the strengths of others.

[Mr.Honest]

I always noticed that any talk of someone giving a solution to “comparing yourself to others”, people LOVE those talks. Just look at the like to dislike ratio. It may be a good talk too but I’m always seeing that consistency and that just shows how much people suffer from this.
