Sometimes it's tempting to think someone else has it better or easier, especially with social media.

02 - navigating the comparison trap

Sometimes it's tempting to think someone else has it better or easier, especially with social media. With constant connection comes constant comparison. We see the highlight reels of others’ lives and their achievements. It's only natural to wonder, "Am I doing enough? Do I need that too to be happy?”

But by comparing to someone else you miss out on the beauty of your own life. Your journey cannot be replicated or compared. It holds experiences, growth, and lessons that are meant just for you. By practicing gratitude for the journey you are on, no matter what stage you’re at, you can have contentment.

So enjoy the ride, and live in the present moment.

  8. your relationship status
