Comparison Is The Enemy of Self-Love

I made this 12-minute guided meditation because I was triggered by how awesome my friends are. (Yes, I'm talk about you!)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So many of you guys are creating epic things and so this past weekend I fell into a dark hole of comparing myself to my friends. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
After much reflection I realized comparison is the enemy of self-love. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Comparison is NOT helpful for me and kills my desire to create. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I love you epic humans. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Pls keep knocking my socks off with your brilliance. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Instead of secretly wishing for mediocre friends, I have decided to do my best to be a FOREVER FAN. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A FOREVER FAN is someone who by default is a fan of anyone that is brave enough to put their work into the world. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Even if my creative tastes don't vibe with your creation, I AM STILL ROOTING FOR YOU. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Even if I am triggered by your work... I AM STILL ROOTING FOR YOU. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Even if we are "competitors" in the same industry... I AM STILL ROOTING FOR YOU. ⁣⁣

Even if you're NOT rooting for me... I AM STILL ROOTING FOR YOU. ⁣
⁣⁣
I love you. Keep shining. ⁣⁣
