Comparison can truly ruin your life. Even when you experience positive things, the victories will be hollow.
There will always be other people with “better” circumstances than you.
Remind yourself that we are all human. No one is perfect.
1. Hang out with people who can challenge you intellectually
Be open-minded to other people’s points of view, discuss topics that you may want to learn from them, & gain insights & understanding of things you haven’t known before.
Always be willing to have deep and meaningful conversations instead of small talks and avoiding them at all.
