When People Compare Themselves to Others in Business and in Life by Anne Cohen

We all go through hard times in life. But sometimes, we get to a point where we might feel as if we’re the only ones going through challenging times or even as if we’re the only ones struggling or having to fight so hard to get what we want in life. Maybe it appears as if others simply don’t have to struggle as hard, and they already have what they want, or perhaps they had an easier time getting there—at least, it seems that way. The fact of the matter is, everyone goes through hard times and everyone has to put in a lot of hard work and effort in order to get to where they are, just as you do. Despite how it might appear, and especially after seeing a finished product or just how much someone has accomplished, it might seem as if they got to where you’re hoping to be, but a lot quicker and with a lot less work or stress. It’s important that we don’t compare ourselves to other people, but instead, that we compare ourselves to ourselves, and merely look at other...

The Mistake of Comparing Someone to an Ex by Anne Cohen

Most people that have been dating for a while have likely explored at least one relationship in their life, and likely at least one break up as well.  For those that know what it’s like to be in an exclusive relationship, and even more so to move on from one, they know what it’s like to experience a whole new person and an entirely different relationship from their previous one. A lot of people tend to compare the new person that they’re dating or in a relationship with, as well as their new relationship altogether to their past one. For many people, comparing is something that they’re conscious and aware of avoiding at all costs. But for some, they tend to compare, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. Not only don’t other people like to be compared to someone’s ex, but you likely don’t like to be compared to someone’s ex either. Everyone wants to feel like they’re your very first love, and that your relationship with them tops all others that you might’ve experienced in you...

MUST READ: Is Growing Up A Trap?

Do you remember when you were about 10 and you were always thinking of how fun it will be when you are 18 or 20? Most of us did the “when I grow up” game. The things we would do when we actually became grown-ups. Nobody knew how tiring, stressful and annoying it would be when you grow up. When lots of people were in secondary school, we used to think college was going to be fun and simple. We were not let on the secret of how stressful and annoying it would be. In college, we were told getting up early for the class was supposed to prepare us for when you actually start working. Though who in their right mind wants to wake up by 7 am on a Friday morning. Who wants to have classes on Sundays because the teacher canceled the actual day of the class. Apart from all these at 18 or 20, you have to start planning to get a job, for the independent ones how you will get your own apartment, how to get your own car, how to pay for said car, grocery bills, apartment rent ,hospital bills ...
