039 - The Curse of Comparison
No matter how good we're doing in a particular area of life, there's one thing that always has the power to knock us down: comparing ourselves to others. Unfortunately, there's always going to be someone smarter, funnier, better looking, making more money, having more opportunities, and one step ahead of us. It's so easy for us to have a pity party and get frustrated. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains why the curse of comparison can stunt our progress, sabotage our journey, and steal our happiness. He talks about a client who recently celebrated the huge milestone of paying off $116,000 of debt in just over 1.5 years. Huge accomplishment! Their now-public story will surely elicit two different responses from people. Some will be motivated and inspired, while others will get struck by the curse of comparison. Here's one thing we know: if Ryan and Paige can do it, so can you! Don't let their achievements make you feel worse about yourself, but rather let their win fuel your upcoming win. Then fast forward a year or two, your story will inspire another wave of people to achieve their wins. We're all in this together!
