Boost Your Creativity by Turning Comparison into Fuel
Have you ever found yourself trapped in the endless cycle of comparing your journey to someone else's? Today, we're tackling the comparison topic - the good, the bad, and the unexpected. Inspired by a question from our co-host Jonathan in our Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group, we explore how comparison can sometimes motivate us to achieve more. As President Theodore Roosevelt said, "Comparison is the thief of joy" – or is it? Join us as we challenge ourselves to reflect on times when comparison spurred us to improve and learn how to turn this natural tendency into a positive force in our lives and podcast journeys.
