Comparison steals your focus—unless you’re comparing the right thing. This video breaks down why comparing yourself to other people keeps you stuck, and how comparing yourself to your best self puts you back in control.What you’ll learn:• Why “don’t compare yourself” is incomplete advice• The healthiest standard for self-assessment: you at your best• How to spot habits that quietly block your energy and momentum• A practical way to measure real progress (without the shame spiral)• How to respond to circumstances you can’t control without losing yourselfI share a conversation I had with the CEO of a large nonprofit—and how it exposed a trap I’ve fallen into too: doing “as much as everyone else” while ignoring the cost. When I started comparing my current self to the version of me that’s rested, healthy, and intentional, everything got easier. More clarity. More output. Less friction. That shift changed how I work, how I take care of myself, and how I think about growth.Real progress isn’t competing with someone else’s life. It’s removing what keeps you from being your best self—one choice at a time.Subscribe for more practical tools and honest conversations about growth, clarity, and momentum.
