Why you should not compare yourself with others

If you struggle with issues of self-esteem and insecurity, the worst possible thing you can do to yourself is to compare yourself to someone else. In truth, those comparisons are a big part of the reason why so many of us struggle with insecurity. What messes with our confidence most is the picture in our head of how we are supposed to be. But we forget, we are not anyone else, we are who we are, and if we want to succeed, we will have to succeed as ourselves.
