Disconnected people compare.
Comparison is a form of addiction.
Comparison can bring you temporary “high”.
I am healthier than him.
I make more money than her.
My problems are not as bad as his.
My house is better than hers.
Comparison also will bring you sadness.
She is married and I am not.
Their kids are smarter than ours.
He vacations more often than I do.
Competition and comparison will mostly bring sadness.
It is a never ending game trying to be calm and joyful when your focus is outside of you.
Compare and compete with yourself!
Be your own benchmark!
