It can kill our creativity, motivation, and inspiration; and steal our joy.However, it is possible to harness the energy of comparison without minimising our gifts and individuality.How do we do that?By staying curious and focusing on self-awareness, self-reflection, and authenticity, we can learn to admire and celebrate differences instead of highlighting what is missing.This shift in perspective allowed me to turn comparison into a positive force in my life.
