Comment on Cut the Comparisons: 3 Ways to Embrace Your Unique Path by M. Tohami

There is no point in comparing ourselves with others. In the end, as you said, everyone is unique. Therefore, our choices and achievements are different.

The objective is not to become like someone else. The real objective is to define our ideal lifestyle and do what is necessary to create it.

You chose to be married and have kids, he didn’t. You’re happy, he may not be.

Who wins in the end?

Suzanne, I really like the way you tell it as it is. We can’t all be world-famous at what we do, but as long we accept our unique gifts (really liked that example you used!) then we can be content. It’s something I realise every day when I do my university work, I may not be exceptional all the time at sitting down and writing assignments. But I know I give it my best attempt. I feel content with that.

Absolutely loved this list. This is me doing #33 I’ve had some of the same thoughts but for whatever reason dismissed some of them as just me being “weird”. Also, it’s so easy for me to tell my kids or others to just think of things a bit differently and it will make a world of difference but, I never seem to be able to stick to that philosophy myself. My favorite part… you’re addition of #101. Selling your point through your own action. Love it!

Hi Suzannah, I wanted to welcome you to CYT.

I loved this piece. I have compared myself to others for most of my adult life, but around 15 years ago it all stopped when I began to really enjoy myself, and accept myself I guess. it was then that I could really appreciate the different talents of those around me and instead of being envious I admired them and that inspired me to keep going.

I am forever grateful in my life and love each waking day, and I know the qualities I possess and I admire others for their qualities, and that is an amazing feeling.

Now I can admire your writing and thank you for this article and helping others.

Thanks again Suzannah I am sure the CYT readers would love having you here again.

Comment on Why You Must Be Like the Lobster! by Evelyn Lim

I enjoy metaphors because they help me understand things better without too many words. So the metaphor of the lobster certainly works well for me.

When we overanalyze, our egos come in to warn us about not venturing into the unknown. We become seized by fear when we allow our egos take charge. Feeling fear is nothing wrong in itself. But let’s feel the fear but do it anyway!

Great post, Steve, as always!

Thank you, David! I figure, if you can envy someone, you can admire them—and admiration is certainly more productive!

They are all ‘biggies’ Suzannah. The comparison thing is a classic. I especially like ‘swapping envy for admiration’, that’s a real breakthrough moment in my book (excuse the pun)…..and you never know, others may be comparing themselves to you…what a delight.
Thankyou and
be good to yourself
