It’s not worth your time. Yes, you know what I mean. Ever sit and feel like you are not as good as [fill in the blank]? Ever feel like you ‘should’ do more? Here’s some news: We live in a world of leaders, stop comparing yourself.
Each person has their gifts, and their gifts shine in different ways and at different times. When you compare yourself to others, you don’t win, you hurt your own brightness and stop focusing on developing your strengths.
This rings especially true in today’s world of experts and entrepreneurs. “The truth is that we don’t help each other and move our industry forward,” says Brendon Burchard in The Millionaire Messenger. If you are an expert, well, can others be experts as well? And how do you compare yourselves to them? Our system isn’t set up to help people share their own voices, rather it is set up to fear one another and hold our information so close because it could be ‘copied.’
There is room for everyone and comparison just drains our creative potential. We should not worry because as long as our focus remains on our talents, we will be able to successfully make them our own. While life may seem like a treadmill where we always want more, just relax and own yourself, and I promise you’ll be a happier and satisfied leader.
So instead of comparing, give. Give to the world in new ways. Give more help to a friend. Give to a social cause or your business. Give lots more to the world and you’ll SHINE. Because that’s what we really need AND it will end up serving you.
