Listen "Stop Comparing Your Journey to Someone Running a Different Race"
Episode Synopsis
What if the reason your life feels “odd” has nothing to do with failure—and everything to do with comparison? In this episode, we explore a liberating idea: your life only seems strange when you compare it to people who aren’t pursuing the same things as you. We compare constantly—online, at work, in our families—using other people’s paths as measuring sticks for our own. But most of the people we measure ourselves against have different goals, different wiring, different challenges, and different stories entirely. It’s like comparing a marathon runner to a chess player and asking, “Who’s winning?” Winning… what, exactly? This episode breaks down how comparison distorts our confidence, distracts our purpose, and disconnects us from the life we’re actually trying to build.💡 What You’ll Learn: • Why comparison feels natural—and why it’s usually inaccurate • How mismatched goals make us feel “behind” when we’re not • Why the only meaningful comparison is with your own direction • Questions that realign you with your purpose, not someone else’s • How to reclaim your peace by focusing on your race, not theirs🛠️ Action Step: Take five minutes to answer these questions honestly: • What am I pursuing right now? • Why does it matter to me? • What am I unwilling to compromise to get there? Let your answers—not someone else’s life—set your direction.📌 Perfect For: • Anyone feeling “behind” or unsure of their progress • People drained by comparison or social pressure • Creatives, leaders, and builders charting unconventional paths • Anyone who needs permission to run their own race
