How often does social media make you feel like you’re not doing enough, working enough, achieving enough, or just not good enough? Probably often? More like always?

Compared to what?
We’re always comparing and judging even when we think we aren’t. There isn’t a moment we aren’t comparing people, experiences or situations. There are no judgment-free zones or thoughts even when we think there are. We’re often seeing the grass greener across the street. We compare people with other people when nobody is or will ever be the same, we compare experiences with other experiences when they’re very different from each … Continue reading Compared to what?

No successful individual ever got to where he or she is today by not working hard, leaving pleasure aside, and sacrificing weekends. Unless you’re a trusted baby.
