COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS IS A DESTRUCTIVE PRACTICE.

COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS IS A DESTRUCTIVE PRACTICE.

We are culturally programmed to believe that we have to be the "smartest, most attractive or strongest person in the room..."

What would it mean to you as a human being if you are not?

Your reaction or answer to that question determines the person you are!

WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS, NOT OBJECTS; THEREFORE, COMPARISONS DO NOT WORK.

There is no best person in the room or anywhere. There is only your personal best.

• The fastest way for anybody to destroy self-confidence and self-esteem is to compare himself or herself to other people.

Victims like to compare themselves to other people: "If only I had this, I would be like her!" "If only I had that, I would be like him." "If I looked that that, I would be happy or successful."

Victims will consistently compare to see how they measure up as though life is a competition. They have low self-esteem that is based on other peoples' approval. They always feel like they are never good enough.

Victors, on the other hand, understand the beauty in individuality. They know that they have their own set of gifts, skills, and unique traits. Victors value themselves based on their own inner qualities. They feel complete and assured in who they are! Victors never use a comparison chart.

• We are not designed for sameness. 
• We are not made for comparisons.
• We are designed for uniqueness. 
• We are designed to be creators in our own way.
