Your starting point is different from anyone else, so why are you comparing your progress to theirs?
I’m a big fan of certain types of social media. If you use social media correctly, it can help your business grow, you can meet people who will elevate your company, etc. But if you use it as a comparison guide, you’ll have a more challenging time finding SM helpful.
Listen, let’s keep it real: if you’re on SM and following fitness accounts or celebrities who are millionaires or billionaires, and then you look at where you are, you’re going to feel defeated. If you’re going to be on SM, you have to know who you are and what goals you have for yourself and be confident enough to know you are WORTHY of having everything you desire.
You can’t look at someone and feel defeated because of where they are and where you are. However it may possible help yo mentally if you found out where they started from. You’re only seeing the end product, and now you’re in your feelings.
We all have a starting point with an end goal in mind!
But to reach that end goal, you can’t continue comparing your beginning to someone else’s end.
If you can’t be on Social Media while still loving who you are and where you are, then you need to delete yourself from those particular platforms that a are causing harm. You have to give yourself grace and self-love. Without that, you might feel like you aren’t worth the effort it takes to move ahead.
But today, you need to start fresh; get up, look at yourself in the mirror, and tell yourself you are worth the effort and hard work it’s going to take to reach your goals.
You worth it
You are worth the effort
You are your competition
Today is a great day to begin comparing yourself to YOU, and that’s all!
Let’s Go!
You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

This is true indeed. I mentioned this in one of my poems here. I have to reel myself back in sometimes from the illusion that is social media.
