How To Avoid Destroying Yourself How to avoid destroying yourself? Stop comparing yourself with other people. Comparing with other people is a bad thing you can do for yourself. Everyone is so unique. Everyone is so different. No one can replace another one. When you start to compare with others, you start to destroy yourself. Comparing is the fastest way to kill your motivation and willpower. It is good to have a role model to learn from. But it will be a disaster to compare with the person. You will feel that you are lack of resources. You will feel that you are not good enough. You will feel that you look like a stupid guy. You will be exhausted to chase other people what they have completed. You will be completely overwhelmed. Comparing is a competition which you can never win. It is because you simply concentrate on what you haven't got. If you need to compare with oneself, you can choose to compare with the old self. Comparing with yesterday, how many tasks you have completed? Comparing with the last week, how much knowledge you have known? Comparing with the last month, how strong you have been? The old self will be the perfect guy you should compare with. Don't let comparing steal your life. You don't need to underestimate yourself. You don't need to overestimate other people. Enjoy your own life without comparing. (Thank you in advance for correcting my grammar mistakes. )
