AgriMinds: Personal & Professional Development In Agriculture

206 Is Comparison the Thief of Joy… or Just Misunderstood?


Listen Later

Welcome back to The AgriMinds Podcast — where we talk about real life, real growth, and the real challenges that come with being in agriculture.

In today’s episode, your host Kacee Bohle takes a deep dive into something we all face: comparison.

We ask the hard questions:

  • Is comparison always a bad thing?

  • Can it be used as a tool for growth?

  • And how do we reframe it so that it makes us better — not bitter?


You’ll hear:
✅ How outward comparison can lead to emotions like resentment, guilt, or bitterness
✅ The importance of accurately naming your emotions (like the difference between envy and jealousy) — a key lesson from Week 6: Emotions in AGRIMINDS
✅ How to shift your focus inward and compare yourself only to a past version of you
✅ A powerful mindset from Atomic Habits: “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to become.”

This episode also includes a personal story (spoiler: it involves a new Chevy Tahoe and a moment of unexpected envy) and practical tips on making small, intentional choices that build a life you're proud of — not one based on someone else’s highlight reel.


💡 Ready for more?AGRIMINDS dives deeper into these conversations with a step-by-step structure to help you align your emotions, habits, and mindset — so you can grow in ways that matter, both in the field and at home.
