The Comparison Cure: How to be less ‘them’ and more you

by Lucy Sheridan

When was the last time that you gave thought and consideration to what you want? What your goals are? And who you want to be in this world? So often, comparison thrives within us because we are not aware of our own version of success and how we would like to feel in our daily lives. Many of us inherit our beliefs about success and the roads we think we should take. This is an important point at which to pause as so many of us think we are failing when actually we are simply not in alignment with what we really want, and we are instead pursuing the dreams and goals of other people. For you, these inherited dreams might come from a parent, a teacher who inspired you at school, or something you heard a friend say once. But ultimately, we inherited that standard or marker of success, we did not choose it and it might have overridden our own internal guidance system.
