πŸ”΄ The Consequences of Comparison | Measuring Your Progress



We all compare. It’s how we learn and gauge progress. But there is a dark side to comparison. Theodore Roosevelt once said, β€œComparison is the thief of joy.” How can we learn, measure progress without feeling like we are so far from our goals?

This + more! We’re going to introduce two new segments called β€œPitch This” & β€œWhat I learned in design school”.


02:16 Despair & Shame: The gap between the work that we think we are capable of doing versus what we create.
03:35 Q: Were there any other people that you could confide in?
04:16 Compare equals despair: why are you comparing yourself with people who have been doing this much longer?
05:24 Q: When did you start to feel comfortable with where you are on your journey?
08:04 Comparison breeds jealousy, measure your growth by how far you’ve grown.
09:53 Don’t mistake some else’s ending for your beginning
12:35 Comparing salaries takes all of the joy out of it.
