Whose life do I secretly admire?
Sunday, October 6th, 2024
Since July 14th, the complete Learning Loop email is only accessible to Loopers who directly subscribe to receive the newsletter HERE . More on why below the resources section.
Former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” This quote resonates with me, but only if I view life as a competition with only one winner. In reality, life is more complex and multifaceted. When we compare ourselves to others, we often induce stress and confusion. But what if we could reframe our comparisons with a desire to learn?
For decades, sociologists have taught us that observation is a powerful tool for learning. This week, let's try comparing ourselves to others with gratitude for who they are and what they bring to the table. Take a moment to reflect on what you admire about someone's life. What is it about their experiences or accomplishments that resonates with you? If it's applicable, consider how you can take a step in a similar direction. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Subscribe for Enhanced Access
Since July 14th, the complete Learning Loop email is only accessible to Loopers who directly subscribe to receive the newsletter HERE . LinkedIn does not provide creators with essential data like open rates, engagement metrics, etc., which makes it challenging to enhance the newsletter, customize our content, and garner support from partners who share our mission. However, the question and a brief introduction to the topic will still be posted every week on LinkedIn for those who opt not to support by subscribing and sharing their email address. The limited version will not include curated, summarized resources with suggested applications to enhance your learning. If this aspect is important to you, I hope you'll consider taking just one minute to subscribe for free HERE .
