You compare yourself to others, their achievements, and their successes. They have a successful career, wonderful personal relationships, are funny, confident, and may even look good too.  You may say, I want to be like them. I want to write the way they do, dance as they do, or just be them completely.

Why would you?

You are special as you are.  You are unique and have wonderful qualities of your own. Focus on those. Don’t waste time trying to emulate others, who knows all the misery they may have beyond the element of glorification you focus on.

Aspiring to achieve or being a better version of oneself is admirable if we focus on ourselves and not seek to emulate or replicate others. You are a specialty. Flaunt it.
