When working on returning to self-love, you’re going to have to stop comparing yourself to other people. You’re no longer 13 years old and no longer an adolescent. And all it does is make you feel bad. There’s always going to be people who have more money, a better job, or a bigger house. Comparing yourself to other people is the quickest way to make yourself feel worse. Plus, you have no idea what was going on behind closed doors. I have a friend who was jealous of his neighbors, not realizing that their neighbor was miserable and in such debt that all they were doing was worrying. But he was very jealous of his neighbor.

You have to stop comparing yourself to other people and instead compare yourself to yourself. Are you growing? Are you learning? And are you evolving? That’s really the only test you have. Are you growing, evolving, and learning? It’s all about self-love, people.

Note: Why would we make ourselves feel worse? I believe it comes from two things. First, it was how we were raised by people who did not know any better. Second, it has to do with what we feel about ourselves. If you feel unworthy of love, you will compare. If you feel you don’t matter or are valued, you will compare. And if you feel your love is not good enough, you will compare. This is why it is all about self-love and why we all need it.
