How to Stop Comparing Yourself with Others and Start Living

Do you often feel like everyone around you is doing better than you?
Does social media make you feel “less than enough”?
You are not alone.

Comparison is one of the biggest reasons people feel unhappy and stuck in life.
But the good news is — you can break this cycle.

Why Do We Compare?

From school to social media, we’re always told who’s better, faster, richer.
But in this race, we forget to love our own pace.

What Happens When You Compare?

• You feel stuck.
• You feel like others are ahead.
• You stop seeing what’s already good in your life.
