Life is a very individual thing to all of us. We all experience different stuff, peak at different times, learn at different rates etc. This is why there is no need in comparing ourselves with others, as we are all on a different page of the book of life.

Why Comparing Ourselves is Detrimental To Our Success

As I have said we are all on different stages of life due to the experiences we have faced. As an example, someone might be amazing at your passion of soccer because they have played it their whole lives and you get demotivated by this as you have only practiced for two years and now you think you are not good enough to pursue your passion. However, you have an extremely high potential in soccer so you will get better eventually, but now since you gave up after comparing yourself to someone you will never achieve it. This is a clear example of how comparison has changed your perception on yourself, derailing you from pursuing your passion. Chasing your dreams is a battle of you versus yourself, where you have to strive for improvement every single day, whether there is people better than you or not. Once you chase your dream and land your first job, you have to try and get better than you were the day before, that consistent improvement even if it's small is what builds success. Focus on yourself and pave your own way, don't follow anyone else's path.

Pursuing your passion is something personal, don't compete against anyone else but yourself.
