Comparing Yourself To Others - Insights From a Motivational Speaker
Stand at one end of a footy field and choose a goal post and start running towards it.
Now look over your shoulder for 5 seconds then look forward again and you’ll see you’re no longer running to your goalpost. You’ve gone off track.
Try as many times as you like you always end up heading somewhere different.
Same as in life.
Always looking over your shoulder and comparing yourself to others almost guarantees you won’t get your goal.
