Your Personal Best
Comparison steals joy, confidence, and purpose—but it doesn't have to win.
In this powerful episode of Embracing the Fight, we dive deep into the idea of Your Personal Best and why comparing yourself to others is one of the biggest obstacles to greatness.
From childhood peer pressure to adult expectations, we explore how comparison shapes identity, fuels insecurity, and creates mental anguish when goals are unrealistic. You'll learn the difference between comparison and jealousy, why failure doesn't disqualify you, and how focusing on improving past your own personal best is what truly leads to excellence—whether that's a personal milestone, a gold medal, or a world record.
This episode is for anyone who has ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or discouraged by measuring their life against someone else's timeline.
In this episode, we discuss:• How peer pressure and comparison begin in childhood • The difference between comparison and jealousy—and why it matters • Why your only real competition is your personal best • The mental and emotional cost of unrealistic goals • How to recover from the pain of setting high goals and falling short • Practical steps to set realistic, healthy goals • How to teach children confidence, resilience, and self-discipline • Why giving up is not an option—ever
Growth doesn't come from comparison. Greatness doesn't come from keeping up. It comes from consistently becoming better than you were yesterday.
