Every single day we consume content from other people and we end up
comparing Our Lives to.
There's this simple thing that we do is so detrimental to ourselves
and our ability to progress as a person is hindered by doing this.
So, in this video, I'm going to explain how comparing yourself to
other people is actually causing you the most amount of stress in your
life and actually causing you to make those mistakes that are setting
you back in life.
Welcome Back to the channel, everybody, my name's already and this is
the moving average the week has come to an end.
So let's get into the special episode of focus Fridays.
If you guys are unfamiliar with the show on Focus, Friday's I like to
give you guys a little bit of inspiration and motivation to help you
overcome certain obstacles in your life and get you to a point where
you're progressing on a daily basis.
So majority of people sit on Instagram, a majority of the day, swiping
through, seeing all of these influencers going on.
Vacation back flipping off of cliffs.
Into turquoise water sitting on a yacht.
Eating lobster, fanciest restaurants, nicest close, Gucci,
Lamborghinis!
Whatever you can imagine.
We tend to fall in the Trap of seeing these successful people and
their amazing lifestyle and think to ourselves.
Why don't I have that, that simple statement right there, causes
dissatisfaction in your own life and then the next thought that you
have is, I would be happier if I had that.
Those two things combined is what causes the stress, every day.
You're thinking to yourself, man.
I should have this man.
I want that and it's causing you to focus on the wrong things.
You see these people on the internet that have overnight success.
And you think that that's attainable for you just because you wanted
the need for overnight success.
And overnight wealth is what's causing a lot of the financial mistakes
that you're making whether you see some
Amazing fake advertisement somewhere cleaning that they're going to be
able to make you 5 or $10,000 a week only.
If you buy their course or if you take their training program and
these things are the scams that so many people fall for taking all of
their savings and dumping it into One Last Hope.
And you get scammed out of your money, and not only do get no benefit
out of it.
You're even more miserable than when you started it.
The only time that you can actually get scammed is, if you are looking
for the shortcuts and the reason you're looking for shortcuts is
because you're comparing yourself to other people, those other people
that you think are doing better than you that you think are happy.
I'm here to tell you right now, those people that you see on Instagram
with their amazing photos of them standing on a cliff beautiful,
turquoise water mountain, ranges beautiful women, both Yachts,
Lamborghinis.
Those people usually are miserable those.
Tiny segments of their life are completely staged.
They get a professional photographer to take that one picture in the
perfect location so that they can prove to everybody else on Earth
that their life is perfect.
You guys should be like me when 99% of the time.
They're the ones huddled in the corner flipping through their phone
wondering.
Why the picture of them wearing a Rolex didn't get as many likes as
them standing next to a Lamborghini.
Those people that you're comparing yourself to are the people that
overemphasize the importance of other people.
Like they do everything in their life, not to satisfy their own needs.
But to make other people believe that they're happy and successful.
That's why those people are usually depressed and sad.
Now I'm going to put this into a chart analogy.
Imagine two people person a and person be here is the graph.
This area right here on the bottom of the chart, is there life from
Zero two age.
One hundred person a starts off with $0 at age 0, but over the course
of their life, they grow their wealth to $1000000.
By the time they're one hundred person be, however, was fed with a
silver spoon, starting out at a million dollars, but by the end of
their life, they had $0.
As you can see, both person A and B head.
The equivalent amount of money over the course of the Hundred Years of
their life.
Here is the major difference.
The one that started out with a million dollars over the course of
their life lost more and more and more and more money.
This is a regression in your life meaning that you're doing worse and
worse and worse as time goes on when every day that you're alive is
worse than the day before you live in a state of depression anxiety,
fear and stress.
Whereas the person that started off with $0 over the course of their
life made more money, more success.
And progressed on a consistent basis to the point where they had
financial success and life success over all over the course of their
life.
So what does this chart teach you this chart shows you a clear
example, that money is not the key to the happiness.
The key to the happiness is being able to progress day in and day out
week after week, year after year and get better over time, giving you
satisfaction knowing that you've grown, as a person, financially
physically, mentally all aspects of Life, increasing over the course
of your life instead of going down and making you miserable throughout
your life.
So what's the solution to the problem?
How do you stop comparing yourself to other people and just focus on
yourself?
This is where self-awareness comes in being self aware of where you
are right now versus where you were last year, or last week, or even
yesterday when you take a mental inventory, on the things you've done
in your
Life and the things you've accomplished are you on a path to
progression?
Are you progressing week-over-week or year over a year?
Now I'm not talking about this, dramatic overnight change.
I'm saying, you can do 25 push-ups this week and last week you could
only do 15 these small incremental steps add up over time.
And when I compare myself to where I was six months ago, or a year
ago, I am substantially more well-off, mentally physically and
financially than the previous version of myself.
When I see that, it brings me extreme joy and satisfaction knowing
that I'm doing something to make myself better.
I set goals and I set standards for myself to constantly push my
limit, my creative limit, my physical limits, my ability to make
income all of these things in my life that make me feel better as a
person day in and day out.
Those are the things that I focus on so that I can have a
Well, rounded existence and maintain a consistent level of Happiness.
Now, I'm not saying it's a straight line all the way up to happiness
and success and everything just like in day trading and looking at
charts, the price goes up and there's a retracements down, but then it
continues up.
Those retracements are the hiccups in your life.
You're always going to have them, you should expect them.
You should plan for them, but you should let them affect you and stop
you and make you go backwards.
Use the mistakes, use the hiccups, use the issues in your life to
train yourself, to get better at overcoming these obstacles and the
faster you can overcome them and get back on the track of progression.
The better off, you'll be now because this is a day-trading channel,
the main people that you probably compare yourself to is these for
executor of their making millions and millions of dollars trading
every single year, and you're wondering why you can't do that.
Please take note, stop doing that because it's doing one thing.
It is messing with your side.
He and causing you to use improper risk management because you want it
so fast, you're completely getting rid of your stop-loss.
You're making trades that are way too big, you're blowing your account
time and time again and because you're trying to get the winning
lottery ticket.
You're trying to win big on that one trades, you'll be set for life
and you'll just keep doing it.
And make millions of dollars, you need to be more consistent.
You need to do a trade today, a trade tomorrow, and be better, every
single day weekend, week out year after year, humble yourself a little
bit and stay consistent, be a practitioner, and a strategist.
Not a gambler, I have people messaging me all the time multiple times
per week even throwing in money in a small account and blowing each
account, three, four times a week.
Those people are gambling.
I don't understand why people are gambling with their future.
Don't gamble with your future.
Don't risk, something you can't afford to lose, don't borrow money
from friends, and
Family thinking that you're going to be a successful day trader,
because your account sizes bigger.
There's a reason why over 90% of retail day Traders fail.
They're comparing themselves to other people.
They're impatient, and they're not discipline.
The best way to progress in your life is to make a monthly plan at the
beginning of each month.
I want you to set out certain goals, make a list of 20 goals, 20
things that you can improve on this month.
Even if it's doing one extra push up, then you could the month before
small wins over time are huge wins.
Then at the end of that month, look at your list, see what things
you've accomplished.
Don't be discouraged if you didn't finish all of them, you made a
small progression in your life that will compound year-over-year.
Success is not a finite point or a destination.
It is not the amount of money you have in your bank account.
It is not the million dollars that you want.
It's not the Lamborghini that you want to drive.
That is not success success.
Is the fact that you are here now and this is where you want to be and
you are on this course.
If you were on a course of progression, I promise you you will have
deep satisfaction in your life.
So I encourage you to re-evaluate the content that you're consuming on
the internet.
If you really need to delete Instagram off of your phone unsubscribe,
from those influencer YouTube channels, take a break from using your
phone at all.
Take a step back, reevaluate, your life, and plan out your future
goals.
Do you have whether it's a 6-month goal a year ago, a five-year goal
or a 10-year goal.
You need to have these goals to track your progress.
If you're not tracking your progress, how do you know that you've
improved over time?
Simply put comparing yourself to other people, is a bad habit that you
need to stop.
I genuinely hope that this video helped some of you guys out there

you guys to be happy.
