Comparison is the Thief of Joy
Comparison is the Thief of Joy
Theodore Roosevelt
When was the last time comparison dimmed your joy? What would shift if you chose appreciation over comparison?
It starts small — scrolling through someone else’s highlight reel, hearing about another person’s success, or watching peers hit milestones you haven’t reached yet. Suddenly, your joy fades, and what once felt like enough… no longer is.
But here’s the truth: comparison pulls you out of your journey and places you in someone else’s shadow. It blinds you to your own progress, growth, and wins. 🌱
Joy doesn’t come from being ahead of others — it comes from being aligned with yourself.
Celebrate your pace. Trust your process. Someone else’s success is not your failure.
When you stay rooted in your path and purpose, there’s nothing to prove — only growth to embrace.
