What’s up, my wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people! 💕
Welcome back to Maryam’s Joyful Life Blog.
Today I want to talk about something that sneaks into our hearts and minds far too often: comparison. Comparing yourself to others is the dumbest idea ever—because the truth is, the people you compare yourself to can’t even compete with themselves. We are dynamic human beings, always changing, always growing, and doing the best we can in any given moment. Your “best” won’t always look the same—and that’s perfectly okay.
Comparison Steals Joy
I believe one of the fastest roads to depression is constantly comparing yourself to others. There will always be people whose expectations you’ll never be able to live up to—and that’s a big enough reason to stop trying.
Here’s the truth:
- You can learn from others without trying to be a copycat.
- When you try to live life exactly like someone else, it’s a form of stealing. And we all know stealing is wrong.
- You were created to be authentically you.
If you’re surrounded by people who want you to be exactly like them, pause and ask yourself: How is that going for me? Probably not too well, because deep down, there’s something in each of us that refuses to be tamed.
Be Authentically You
You are unique. Your uniqueness blossoms only when you allow yourself to be the person God created you to be. That doesn’t happen by mimicking someone else—it happens when you embrace yourself fully.
Yes, you can learn from others. Yes, you can be inspired by their journey. But don’t steal their life—and don’t let them steal yours.
One Day at a Time
Be free from people one day at a time by choosing you. Be the most authentic version of yourself. It might be hard at first, but you are more than capable. We all are. Great goals, peace, and true joy come from embracing your authenticity—not from being a shadow of someone else.
Learn from the mistakes of others, make better decisions, and keep striving to be better than you were yesterday, not better than someone else.
Don’t let anyone steal your joy! ✨
