One of the most natural habits that we all possess within our own self in one or the other way even if we are doing it intentionally or not it is always going to be staying there which is about comparison itself which is obviously going to be silently staying in our life in a very casual way which is going to be having a lot of influence on everything that we do which is definitely going to have a very big same on the perspective which we have about everything as well.

Most of the times we don't even know test that it is something which we are doing as well or are getting involved in because it happen so naturally that we don't really even be attention to it but at the same time it surely define a lot of the things that we do in the particular ways that we are doing it which is particularly thought to be as a thing that have been evolving within our mindset in many ways.

Comparison has been a part of us sent the very beginning itself when early human beings tried to compare what others are doing to survive and learn new things to adopt those strategies so that they can be getting better at doing those small thing but it is something that has changed a lot even from that point of time but that habit of comparison is something that has still got very deeply integrated within our head which is something that we do with other people today as well but in terms of a lot of things that might not be that relevant which used to have such an important point back then.

On many occasion comparison definitely can be a good source that he can use to feel motivated as well because it definitely helps us to think in away that we have to be doing something not to matching the level of other people as well and for that we definitely can get motivated which can be done with the help of comparison itself as it can be actually helping us to have those reference points that other people are using and the gap which we have from them.

But this is something that is not going to be very much helpful for us as well in the long run as motivation is something that is going to be done from the things that excite us and are going to be aligning with the values that we have another than looking at something that other people are doing and trying to match but they have achieved which can definitely be helping us giving a bit of instant motivation to work in that particular direction but at the same time it is not going to feel as satisfying if we had that motivation from our genuine sources which could have been from the things that we feel interesting about.

There is also a very big aspect about comparison that definitely makes us feel that we are getting late of doing a particular thing which is actually going to be done when we are looking at different people and they are at a particular stage in their life as well which is what makes us feel that we are getting behind which is something that is not really the case as everyone as moving at their own base and there is no timeline that everyone has to be following which is what makes it complete because we are going to be getting things done at our own base and there can be different opportunities and different parts that people are going to take and nothing is going to be sting the same so this comparison is definitely not going to be a very.

The world that we are living in today is definitely going to be feeling these comparisons even more because in the aspect of social media it is going to be target it in such a manner that it is going to promote comparison even more and that is what happens with us as well as we are looking forward towards comparing every single thing that we are involved in right from the lifetime that people have along with the things that there which you and things that they are doing as well which is what makes all of these things look quite easy but in reality the efforts are not that greatly displayed which makes it seem that anyone can do it and that is really big trap as well and undermining there efforts at the same time.

Comparison is a particular aspect that we are going to always have within ourselves but at the same time we need to be using it in the most possible manner that can be positive for us and it can definitely be found even the smallest of things where it might not even be necessary which is something that we need to handle and manage and the manner which it is not going to be making us influence into doing something that me might not be very interested towards getting done.
