How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others


peace infinite waters diving deep once
again we are here in nature breathing in
that good ass prana baby it feels good
within the middle of nowhere in a
different part of Jurassic Park we got a
question in from someone who said they
can’t stop comparing themselves to other
people what should they do I can’t stop
moving this camera around it feels
fantastic look the cat down the road is
the cat down the road I wouldn’t want
the cat down the road to be the squirrel
down the road No
wouldn’t even sound good can I get a
hello
let me share with you what’s helped me
along my journey as we rock and roll and
stroll around look there are billions of
people on this planet and many of us
don’t like the way we look we don’t like
the way we talk we don’t like what we
wear we don’t like how we appear to
other people and there are so many
things we want to change even me along
my early journey I wanted to change into
somebody else right a lot of us are like
that we’re not happy with ourselves what
did it for me
I told myself that you got to find one
trade that you have that nobody else has
right something you do that nobody else
does because a lot of us with good copy
cats right that’s what we’re good at we
don’t get paid for it though
you see when you are focusing on what
other people have you are living in lack
why because you’re focusing on the ones
when you focus on what you have you
actually realize what hey wait a minute
I actually have a lot and for a long
time I was in the mindset that other
people have it better than me until I
traded places I’m like I’m good right
here I don’t want to be you but you see
a lot of us we don’t have that we’re
just looking at other people’s lives
like they’re more glamorous lives of the
rich and famous the Hollywood stars
until you get there you won’t really
know what it’s like but you see we’re
left with the illusion and we think the
illusion is real when it’s totally not
right so it’s not fair when you compare
yourself to other people it’s not fair
but we do it anyway why do we do it the
simple reason many of us were unhappy
with ourselves should we go down here
let’s go down here okay you’re the tour
guide one happy with ourselves because
so many of us we’ve been trying to
modify ourselves since the day we were
born so you’ve got to stop modifying
yourself stop comparing yourself to
other people it means you’ve got to stop
trying to impress people
you got to accept yourself a hundred
percent you got to love yourself 100
percent how do you do that by going to
the place where you find your greatest
power can I get a hello there for me
that’s nature you got to realize how
weird you are but also how wonderful you
are
you see a lot of us were afraid to be
weird we’re afraid to be wacky but nerds
are on the world last time I checked the
reason why it’s not fair is because you
don’t know someone struggle what they’ve
gone through so can we make a deal you
can compare yourself to other people
because you want all of their positive
traits right they’re wonderful life if
hear it out you take on all their
negative experiences oh we don’t want to
do that right many of us we compare
ourselves to other people because we
have a lot of fear we haven’t built
originality when it’s so natural to us
because as children we’re so original
right children are drawing they’re
drawing different pictures and they’re
not competing with one another you’ve
got to start competing with yourself
you’ve got to realize that you are your
greatest adversary and your greatest
friend look do you know why I love the
cat down the road down the path is
because you can’t compare the cat down
the road to the dog down the road or the
squirrel down the road or the parrot no
parrot around here no right
you see we’ve created this thing called
equality in society which doesn’t really
exist yes we are we are all one we are
all one we’re not equal because how
could you how can you compare a squirrel
to a lion what right squirrels can climb
up trees really fast but lions can roar
until you start running really fast but
they both have unique supreme abilities
so once you find your unique supreme
ability you won’t even want to compare
yourself to anybody else why because
that would be a total disrespect to the
universe for creating you right and for
me what’s helped me along my journey is
to realize look it gets boring comparing
yourself to other people why because now
you start living in their shadow you’ve
got to start becoming a pioneer right if
someone calls you weird that’s a
compliment if someone calls you crazy
that’s an even bigger compliment because
we need more crazy people we’ve already
got enough normal people can I get a
hello there we’ve already got enough
boring people right we’re supposed to be
artists all of us alchemists wizards
doing crazy stuff all kinds of stuff but
you can’t really come into your true
authenticity so long as you are
comparing yourself to other people so
how do we stop
easy grab a mirror and write on that
mirror I wouldn’t want to be anybody
else right who do you dream off do you
dream of someone else what they’re
wearing you want to wear it you dream of
their fancy home their car their wife
their husband you feel left out because
you see we compare ourselves to other
people when there is a part of us that
is in lack when there is a part of us
that is in dire need of becoming whole
many times we feel our life is useless
is a tragedy I say have you seen a
the reason why I used to love a lot of
music I grew up producing and stuff in
my early journey was because it was
total freedom there were no rules no one
was saying nobody was saying do it like
this do it like that no you could do
whatever you wanted and guess what
nobody was going to judge you for it you
see many times we start judging other
people which is really comparing
ourselves to them because we are placing
them on a pedestal so Oh guess what if
we place them on a pedestal then where
are we right we’re looking up to
somebody else
once again I always say don’t look up to
me don’t look down to me see me I level
and realize you don’t know what is taken
me to get here I don’t know what is
taken you to get there I don’t want to
know either can I get a Hello
they’re right a lot of us we become
miserable better angry when we’re
comparing ourselves all the time to
other people but but you’ve got to ask
yourself how is it serving me see it’s
wonderful when you compare yourself to
other people if it’s in a good spirit of
competition when it’s in a good spirit
of urging each other to become your
greatest version but not when it’s about
okay I’m better than that person right
because now you start looking down at
that person you start thinking that
person is less than you and with all
compared with all comparison
it’s the biggest illusion ever because
how can you compare a blade of grass to
a rose right the thorn and the Rose
complement each other they’re not
opposite so what’s helped me along my
journey is just breathing in that
good-ass prana and realizing I wouldn’t
want to be anyone else why because my
life is amazing your life as well better
be amazing if not I got a I got a book
you in for a I got a book you in for an
appointment with a cat down the road
your hand up if you want now we just
here having fun infinite waters diving
deep once again stay well stay healthy yes
