I have SUCH A WONDERFUL LIFE & EXISTENCE; I cannot believe I even do this for a second; but I do; and I need to STOP IT

How can I do this... 4 months ago

while I’m looking for a job? I just applied for a job I really want and I know a lot of the other candidates – some of them have way more experience than I do and I know there is at least 20 of us in the process. Comparing myself makes me completely loose it – now, I just need to find a job – ANY JOB – so I can say I’m as good as the person who gets the one I really want! This is crazy I know! Trying to stop comparing myself is hard, but I feel it’s even harder during the job search process.

Because more than anything.... 4 months ago

it make me feel crap about myself. And all the positive things I know to be true about myself I second guess because someone else is doing something or has something or is something I want to be, do or have.

I don’t like the envy that comes out when I compare myself to others. I should be able to be happy for people, especially friends… and sometimes I am jealous but what is more overwhelming is the sense of “so whats the point of me doing it…. i haven’t got there yet, they’re doing it… I cant do it, I’ll never get there….” which I then use as an excuse to not take action….

This rant has just come about because I saw a status on Facebook (I took myself off there for 8 weeks as all I did was compare my life to the rubbish other people put up) from my old assistant who is successfully shooting for publications that I want to be shooting. Meanwhile I spend my time on money jobs ( still shooting) to pay my mortgage. And so through comparing I feel my confidence in my talent slip….and jealously and envy rise up in me. I hate it.

Time for bed! Tomorrow is a new day and I have to live MY life and no one else’s. Hopefully I’ll forget my old assistants life and focus on my own.

If I am truly unique… why do I keep comparing myself to everyone else?

Why do I worry about my work compared to others’?

No matter how much I accomplish, I can’t stop doing this!! And I know I’m not the only one out there! We need to come together and be PROUD of ourselves and realize that everyone has their own journey! Of all my goals, this is one of the most important :)

is this impossible? 8 months ago

I don’t know about this goal…I added it a while ago and I think that it might be kind of pointless. Isn’t this fighting human nature? Aren’t we wired to compare ourselves to other people. I guess when I added this I felt that I was doing this too much. Now I feel like I’m pretty “normal.” I don’t really think that this is a goal worth any more consideration at this time.
