Shining There’s Only One YOU! Stop Comparing and Start D BY FELICIA BAUCOM o you have a tendency to compare yourself to others? How does it feel? When you compare yourself to another person, mostly likely you’re not thinking about all the wonderful qualities you have or all the impressive things you’ve done. Instead, you’re thinking you don’t have the skills and talents another person has, or you’re not good looking, or you’re somehow inferior because you’re not making as much money. Maybe you think because you’re not as knowledgeable and experienced as someone you admire, you don’t have what it takes to start your own business or write a book. And maybe you’ve been convinced that you have to be just like all the other successful people in the world to get anywhere in life. You can’t be yourself. 50 www.AspireMAG.net | April / May 2017
