Comparison­s kill

-

How can you be happy with where you are but at the same time want something better?

Many men become despondent because they’re always comparing themselves to other people or to the future version of themselves who has more money and a better career – which is a waste of effort and energy.

It’s entirely possible to find happiness and satisfacti­on in where you are without losing the drive to accomplish the next big goal on your list. But if you’re perpetuall­y playing the comparison game, you might find your journey becomes marred by frustratio­n, anxiety and fear, not excitement and inspiratio­n.
