This week's BOLD LAW..."Don't compare your insides to other people's outsides"....No one wins when you do that!

Written by The Kristan Cole Team Alaska

It's very easy to fall into this " No-Win " trap. It's also human nature to want to ''keep up with the Jones",

I know my insides and you know yours. Without many deep conversations with each other, how can we possibly know each other's insides? And, how many times do we compare our insides to someone else's exterior...someone who appears on the outside to have it all together?

We cannot win at that game. That person may be putting on a show to others just to look good , when they are in fact , covering up a false sense of security or a problem they do not wish to reveal. And you want to compare yourself to that person that may have many insecurities that you don't have? I don't think so....

And when you compare yourself to someone who really does possess more than what you have, you can really get down on yourself. Choose instead to be inspired by their success. Ask them how they achieved it and I'll bet they'll show you the way ! Most successful people are only too glad to assist you if only you would ask...and then do what they say! They have an attitude of "Gosh, if I can do it, so can you!"

Sometimes, if we don't catch ourselves, in order to boost our own morale, we can look down upon someone else who may not be as successful as we are. Watch out for that ego trap too. You lose because you're putting them down in your own judgement. Be humble. Be courteous and curious . Ask questions and offer assistance to pull them up. When we do that, we all win!

Don't put others on false pedestals above you because they can crumble fast...and don't put yourself up there either. Let your results speak for themselves. Know thyself. Know your insides and pass this on and we all grow.

Don't compare your insides to other people's outsides!
