A LIFESTYLE OF COMPARISON LEAD TO PAINS AND FRUSTRATION.

IMG_20250330_111842_384.jpg

Comparison is a deadly thing to do. Comparison have caused a lot of people pained and depression and even took some people to an early grave. A life of comparison is a life of struggles, depression, frustration and is a life of living death soul. You can be living physically but you're death psychologically and mentally because of comparison lifestyle.

We live in a world that's full of comparison. People tends to compares themselves with other people, children with other children and even coworker with themselves. They have forgotten we all have the same body system, the same air we breathe but our body parts have their different functions and at different particular time. We have all visions and dreams to achieve, but not all of us will achieve the dreams at a certain period and that's how the life is. Some people will achieved what they have worked and prayed for in the future while other wouldn't achieve it even though they have work hard as well.

The world could have been a better place to stay with one another if there's not comparison. Parents will try to compare their children success with other people children success and it makes the children that are struggling looks like they have completely failed in life by seeing other children of their age, the same educational qualifications succeeded while they're still stuck in the journey in one problems of other.

People tried to measure their level of success with other to know if the other people can be compare to their level of standard and lifestyles. Comparison kills one's dreams easily. Nobody in this life wants to be compare with another person because they all have their different unique ways of doing things. So many children have given up their dreams and visions for what they love because of how their parents compared them to other children. A child can be a lover of football and loves playing football believing someday he will play for local team, then national team and finally international team.

But his parents might see football as a waste of time considering the society makes things looks like a child that has no western education has no use in the society and they will eventually stop the child from playing football and doing what he likes and enroll the child in school to study some certain course that they believed in the country it could be lucrative after graduation you could get a job and be able to take care of family.

They didn't see any good or better future with someone being a footballer because they might have seen the other person child is studying the lucrative course and they want the same for their children without allowing the children to make their own choice and decide what is best for them. And the most dangerous part of this comparison is "SELF COMPARISON". The moment you started comparing your life with another person's life you are leading to a frustrated life. The moment the other person is excelling and you're stuck at a time you will be depressed and fustrated.

You want to level up your own standard with the other person by all means. You want to wear the latest design clothes and shoes and be among the happening guys in the town and when you can't keep up with lifestyles or maintain their kind of lifestyle you will be fustrated and depressed. Because someone bought the latest car and you want to buy the same type of car even though you are not financial stable like the other person. You want to wear the same clothes like other celebrities or your colleagues who are ahead are wearing and if you can't get those clothes you will be frustrated. Someone bought a new house and you want to buy a new house too just to feel among the talk of the town. A lady will be so fustrated because she saw her friends, age mates are getting married, she will lose her joy and peace and start thinking about getting marry by all means without considering the kind of partner she wants to stay with forever.

The ladies often get married because of frustration out of age or almost her colleagues are married , so she want to married at all cost at a particular time. One thing I know and have figured out is that comparison will kill your joy and take away your peace of mind. You can never live a happy life if you do compared yourself with other people. You will not go far in life if you live a life of comparison because you will not see your own efforts and appreciates your little success but become depressed and frustrated because of the blossom success of other people forgetting your little success. We all have our goals and dream to achieve, work on your own goals and dreams with your own strategies and principles to achieve your success without comparing yourself with others.

Love yourself, and appreciate your little efforts and success as you keep working hard and growing higher on achieving your goals in life and surly victory will come true. We should know that in life we can't get the same results and have the same excelling level of success in life at the same time, one will surely be ahead of another. Compare yourself with yourself, measure your success of today with your success of yesterday and plans better for tomorrow success to be greater than yesterday success and you will see a tangible results coming forth your way.

Be appreciative at the level of your success per time, strive for better ahead. With hardwork and sacrifices and self discipline you will reach your own goals. Stay away from a life of comparison that only causes you frustration, sadness and pains and enjoy the life of self-love and peace and joy in your day to day journey of life.
Thank you everyone for reading through.
