Comparison
<p>Sometime ago I heard about freelancing and the skills that stood to me most were : writing and video editing because growing up I wrote poems and I was always eager to adjust the brightness of a picture or the skin tone, whatever made it pleasing to the eyes.</p><p><br/></p><p> And that's when I started as a ghost writer, also learning video editing side by side but there's something I want you to pick form my story and I'm getting to my point.</p><p><br/></p><p> Each time I would scroll through Tiktok I would see different ghostwriters doing so well or editors that are already pros in the editing game. And yes I felt behind, I kept on comparing my journey with people. And that's when I deleted all my stories in a novel app and I lost interest in my editing.</p><p><br/></p><p> I know people often say "Comparison is a thief of joy". But I say comparison does more than just stealing our joy.💁♀️</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Comparison steals Satisfaction </p><p><br/></p><p>Interet</p><p><br/></p><p>Happiness </p><p><br/></p><p>Healthy living </p><p><br/></p><p>Gratitude </p><p><br/></p><p>Motivation </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>And ofcourse "joy "</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>This term COMPARISON has a way of diminishing your morale or the hype you get form starting out something</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>It stings most when you see people living the life you want or having the clothes you long for, or eating the kind of food you crave, or even people having body types you've always wished for.</p><p><br/></p><p> We downgrade our success, shrink our identity or even give people high regard than we give ourselves.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>This might sound little but when you keep feeding this comparison you won't recognize the mess up you've brought on yourself.</p><p><br/></p><p> Just so you know I returned as a writer well not as a ghostwriter and I'm yet to continue my editing. Let this be a sign for you to hold yourself at high regard, enjoy every stage, track your success but with moderation to avoid the obsession for fast results</p>
