Don't Compare

from Effectiveness · host Max Langen

It's useful to compare yourself with others - you can learn what they are doing right, and copy it. But you can also feel envy. Others buy positional goods - fancy cars, shiny watches - for this exact reason. They want you to feel bad, so they can feel good. Status matters, but feeling bad isn't necessary. Show status only when it matters - when it doesn't, don't compare. Be mindful when others are trying to establish status, and let them compete with anyone but you.
