Comparison is a killer of joy - by Yusuf Josephine Ufedo

“THE POWER OF CONTENTMENT” Contentment is a state of being happy and satisfied with what you have. When you're contented, you appreciate the little things in life and find joy in everyday moments. Contentment isn't about being complacent or lacking ambition; it's about being at peace with your current situation and finding happiness in the present. • Benefits of ContentmentContentment has numerous benefits, including reduced stress and anxiety, improved relationships, and increased self-esteem. When you're contented, you're less likely to compare yourself to others or feel envious of their success. You're more focused on your own journey and celebrate others' achievements without feeling threatened. • Contentment vs. JealousyWhen you're contented, you're less likely to feel jealous of others. You recognize that everyone has their own struggles and successes, and you're not threatened by someone else's achievements. Instead, you're happy for them and celebrate their wins. Contentment allows you to focus on your own growth and progress, rather than comparing yourself to others. •The Dangers of ComparisonComparison is a killer of joy. When you constantly compare yourself to others, you'll always find someone who seems more successful, happier, or more talented. This mindset can lead to dissatisfaction, anxiety, and unhappiness. Instead, focus on your own journey and celebrate your unique strengths and accomplishments. • Practicing ContentmentTo cultivate contentment, focus on gratitude, mindfulness, and self-awareness. Practice appreciating the little things, stay present in the moment, and recognize your thoughts and emotions. By doing so, you'll find more joy and peace in your life. My name is Josephine and I’m here to tell you that comparison is a killer of joy… focus on your own journey and be contented.
