Wk2 - Comment on Stacie Stoumbaugh

I’m not positive that the logic in this chapter would work for everyone, but I do know that we all struggle with comparing ourselves on some level. If we can contribute and not compare, the fear is removed and the possibilities become endless.



Stacie,

That is exactly what I needed to read. Your last sentence is so powerful for me. This post is very connected to what I have been trying to master. I am very competitive and tend to compare myself to every just about everyone. At times I feel defeated and that drives me to work harder and to do better. I times I feel great because I am better at something than someone else, and that drives me to work harder to stay better. It's a vicious cycle. But, I will try, like you, to stop that kind of thinking and switch to contributing because it is less competitive and more cooperative.
