Nice one Mack! So very aligned with my recent article on the 'is-ought problem' too and the pros and cons of comparisons; it really can be a double-edged sword.
More research about the Comparison Trap: Bronze medal winners are happier than silver medalists. The reason? Bronze winners focus on what they won, silver medalists focus on what they lost.
Indeed a great reminder to focus on our own progress, at our own pace.
Thank you Jasmine. Always a joy to hear from you 🌹
Some great points here Mack! ✨
Thank you Hege!

It’s good to see that people here are paying attention, I think this is a very important topic. Especially for our mental health.
Very good
Thank you Leslie!
