    Comparing Yourself is Killing Your Joy

    en-usFebruary 14, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • Comparing ourselves to others can lead to feelings of inadequacyInstead of comparing ourselves to others, focus on our progress and growth for more happiness and fulfillment

      Comparison, while it has its benefits, can be detrimental when used to evaluate our own lives against others. Our ancestors used comparison to ensure survival, but in today's world, comparing ourselves to others in areas like wealth, appearance, or achievements can lead to feelings of inadequacy and steal our joy. It's essential to remember that everyone's journey is unique, and focusing on our progress and growth rather than comparing ourselves to others will bring more happiness and fulfillment. Instead of comparing, try to find inspiration and motivation from others' successes and learn from their experiences. So, next time you find yourself comparing, take a step back, and refocus on your own path.

    • Comparing yourself to others is futileFocus on comparing your current self to your past self for motivation and progress tracking

      Comparing yourself to others is a futile exercise due to the unique nature of individual life experiences. You can't compare your starting point (chapter one) to someone else's advanced progress (chapter 20). For instance, in the context of fitness, it's unfair to compare your current body to someone else's, especially if they've been working out for years. Instead, focus on comparing your current self to your past self, as this can motivate you and help you track your progress. Remember, everyone's journey is unique, and it's essential to appreciate and celebrate your own progress, no matter how small it may seem compared to others.

    • Comparing yourself to others can be demotivating, focus on progress not othersInstead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your own progress and celebrate small achievements, recognizing that everyone's journey is unique and takes time to develop.

      Comparing yourself to others, whether it's in regards to physical fitness or business growth, can be demotivating and lead to feelings of inadequacy. Instead, focus on comparing yourself to your past self and recognizing the progress you've made. It's important to remember that everyone's journey is unique, and comparing yourself to someone else's timeline or achievements can be misleading and unproductive. Just as a baby takes nine months to grow and be born, businesses and personal growth take time to develop and mature. So, be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress, no matter how small.

    • Comparing Business Progress and Cellular HealthFocusing on yearly progress in business and daily supplementation with NR for cellular health can lead to accomplishment and resilience.

      Both businesses and living organisms require time to grow and mature. Comparing your business to one that has been established for longer may be demotivating, but focusing on your progress from year one to year zero can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation for future growth. Similarly, maintaining optimal cellular health is essential for the proper functioning of our bodies. NAD+ is an essential molecule that plays a crucial role in cellular energy production and repair. Lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption, poor diet, and pollution can decrease NAD+ levels, leading to cellular aging. Daily supplementation with NR (Niacinamide Riboside) can help restore NAD+ levels, supporting overall cellular health and resilience. True Niacin is a well-researched supplement that addresses non-visible signs of aging and supports heart and muscle health.

    • Focus on excitement for others instead of jealousyInstead of feeling jealousy towards others, focus on being excited for their achievements and believe in your ability to reach your goals

      Instead of feeling jealousy and lack when comparing ourselves to others, we should focus on being excited and congratulating those who have achieved more. This mindset shift can help us attract what we want rather than pushing it away. TrueNaiagen is offering a discount of 20% for new customers on their first purchase by visiting truenaiagen.com/dial and using the code "dial" at checkout. Brand Crowd, on the other hand, is not just a logo maker but a comprehensive tool for creating, marketing, and managing business branding. After finding a logo, users can access various design tools, create social media posts, business card designs, and other print materials using templates and a massive photo library. Comparison with others often brings feelings of lack and jealousy, which are not magnetic energies that attract our goals. Instead, we should focus on being excited for others and believing in our ability to achieve our goals. This positive mindset can help us take action towards the life we want rather than pushing it away.

    • Embrace your unique path in lifeFocus on your journey, celebrate others' achievements, and trust the universe has your back as everyone's path is unique and designed for growth.

      Each person's life is unique and individually designed for them. Comparing yourself to others and feeling jealous or competitive is futile because everyone is on their own distinct path. During a psychedelic experience, the speaker discovered this concept of having their own lane in life, where everything they've been through and will experience is specifically meant for their growth. Embracing this perspective allows us to celebrate others' achievements and focus on our own journey. There's no need to worry about what others are doing or try to compete, as the universe has our back and we're all progressing in our own ways. So, follow your instincts and the path that feels right for you, as it's been perfectly crafted for your personal growth and development.

    • Focusing on our own path and trusting the processStay focused on your goals' direction, be consistent in your efforts, and practice patience to reduce stress and anxiety on the journey to success

      Success and happiness take time to mature, just like a child growing up. Comparing ourselves to others and feeling like we're behind can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety. It's important to stay focused on our own path and trust that we'll get there in due time. The average person becomes a millionaire in the US at the age of 57, so no matter what age we are, we have time. Our goals require three things: direction, making sure we're heading towards what we want; consistency, putting in the effort day by day; and patience, trusting the process and understanding that things take time to develop fully. If we keep these things in mind, we can reduce stress and anxiety and focus on making progress towards our goals.

    • Focus on your unique journey to successTo achieve your goals, have clear direction, take action, and be patient. Avoid comparing yourself to others and stay focused on your personal growth.

      Achieving your goals requires direction, action, and time. First, it's essential to have a clear sense of direction and focus on what you truly want. Second, taking action and putting in effort towards your goals is crucial. Lastly, patience and understanding that things take time to develop is key. Additionally, avoid comparing yourself to others and focus on your unique journey. Remember, you can't rush the process of personal growth and success. Instead, stay focused, take action, and allow things to unfold naturally. Share this message with others to inspire and uplift their lives as well. Make it your mission to make someone else's day better.

    How To Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind

    How To Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind

    Today, I'm exploring how our early experiences and surroundings shape who we become—and more importantly—how we can rewrite those scripts to create the life we truly want. Think of our minds like super-complex computers; they run on programs we pick up from childhood onward. These programs influence everything from our behaviors to how we think about ourselves and the world.

    From the moment we're born, we're soaking up information like sponges. It's fascinating to see how much of what we learn comes from observing those around us, especially during those crucial early years. I'll be sharing insights on how to uncover these subconscious programs, challenge them, and ultimately, rewrite them to align with your goals and dreams. If you're ready to take charge of your programming and steer your life in a new direction, this episode is for you!
