Compare Yourself With Better - Hump Day Easy Talk

over 2 years ago (Edited)

It looks that HIVE pump inspired me for another vlog... This time the topic isn't about that, but it's something that was "born" from that event... If you are here on HIVE for more than a year, you probably remember the time when we all were a happy family on the old blockchain... Well, maybe we weren't that happy as we had that grand piano (Steemit stake and ninja mining) over our heads all the time... Anyways, we are now different blockchains and everyone is happy as it goes in its direction... Or is it like that?

When these events occur, like this HIVE pump, when the price of HIVE went over the price of STEEM, our pride comes to the surface... Don't get me wrong, pride can be a good thing, but in this example, it's very close to hurt EGO and it's pure negativity... Like I said in the first paragraph, we are separate blockchains and I don't see the reason to be compared with STEEM at all... As a matter of fact, after recent hard forks, the complete functionality is different... It's not that I'm biased (which I am), but HIVE is superior in so many ways to the old blockchain and just from that point of view, there is no reason for comparing ourselves with something worse...

This "event" was just a trigger for a deeper look inside of ourselves... We are comparing ourselves so many times in our lives, in just one day... Do we compare ourselves with better than us, or...? Is there anything positive in comparing yourself with others? Can that harm you and your personality? Can that help you?

Let's talk about it... Check out the video...

Thank you for your valuable time,

Hive is a better blockchain than other graphene blockchains so deserve to better on the market, either. Happy monets.

When it comes to personal comparisons, I believe it's often best not to compare with anyone, better or worse. Just with yourself and thriving to improve. But few people manage to do that without looking over the fence in the neighbor's yard.

Indeed... In theory that is the best way... To do our best... But, it is hard to accomplish...

I have an older sister and when we were in school I was always competing with her to be a better student... Without here, I would probably be a homeless drunk... 😂

Someone else in your shoes might have ended a homeless drunk.

Seem to me you had it within you the will to improve. The little competition with your sister in school kept you motivated early on, when you could have chosen some bad paths.

I don't really like comparing. Comparing yourself to others or your token to others is a very detramental thing that starts making you look at wrong targets. At the end of the day if you can look back and say yeah I'm happy with myself and proud of what I did today that to me is the greatest victory and the way one should look at life and move forward. If you start thinking wow this person did 10x and we only did 5x it's a very depressing thing and it start to dig you into a pit that has very negative implications.

So be proud of yourself, your investments, in what you do each day and realize you did your best. But be honest with yourself if you didn't do your best. Challenge yourself each day.

Well, I have to agree with you... You said it well, and we all know how it's hard to be objective and honest with ourselves... That's probably the main reason why we compare with others...

If you start thinking wow this person did 10x and we only did 5x it's a very depressing thing

Yeah, you are right about that... It can be a problem for some people to accept, but for some, it can be a motivational factor... It depends on the person...

Fair point it can be motivational as well. It seems more like a balancing thing. That this is possible to do as someone else did it and how can I/we go above that.

That's how I got my driving license... lol... I was so nervous that I have made stupid driving mistakes and fail the exams twice! After that, I was watching other people who are already driving and said to myself "Am I really a worse driver than them?" 😂

I know that it sounds stupid but it reduces my stress and I passed in my 3rd attempt... :)
