Comparison is the thief of joy.

During a conversation with my mother about success, I found myself incessantly comparing my journey to those at the peak of success.

Initially, this comparison was motivational, but the deeper I thought, the more toxic it was.

The crux of men’s self-improvement is based on :

Hustle culture

Hard work

Constant self-betterment

While these elements can be positive, the expectations I set for myself lead to a distorted self-image and unrealistic benchmarks.

It’s every other day, I see an 18-year-old millionaire selling me his course on social media, and it makes me wonder what the heck I was doing when I was 18.

it's supremely toxic, and it really is self-sabotage in my opinion Eunice.
