"Relative comparisons are poison..."

I say this a lot.

Why?

Let's find out...

-Short Thread-

2. Definition

What is a relative comparison?

Any comparison where you judge your results
based on someone else, looking at the differences.

By themselves, there is nothing wrong
with comparisons.

They provide you with information.

They give you benchmarks.

3. The Danger

So, whereas comparisons give you
raw data,

They don't provide context.

What is context?

Context is the environment, the factors
that form the specific setting.

Family, work, health, skills, knowledge
experience, age, are all factors in context.

4. The Importance

So, why does context matter?

We all have different lives, our context
is as individual as we are.

My life is different than yours.

EVERYTHING is influenced by
these differences.

It makes comparisons with others pointless,
even destructive.

5. Best Use

Use other people's numbers...

- Twitter Growth
- Weight Loss
- Bank Account

...to inspire, motivate, and inform you of
the possibilities.

But a direct comparison is damaging to your
own efforts.

Nothing will kill your desire faster.
