“Comparison is the Killer of Joy”

Have you ever felt like you’re falling behind?
Watching other athletes next to you, seeing people your age online, holding big dreams that feel impossible to reach?

“Comparison is the killer of Joy”

This short and sweet phrase packs a killer punch. It cuts through your excuses, nips the whining in the bud, and gives you instant motivation to stay in your lane and focus on you. Your journey is your own. Your successes and wins are valuable—no matter how small or how far you still are from where you want to be.

So next time you’re struggling to get through those banded pull-ups and Bob is next to whipping out those butterfly’s 😜 remember where you were last year when you started with ring rows. 

When you catch yourself watching someone’s highlight reel online and start to feel inadequate, remind yourself of what you have gained in the last three months and the reps you’re putting in to grow.

When you’re struggling through your burpees and keep thinking “when will I ever feel less miserable doing these like “so and so?” ( You won’t, “so and so” is also miserable— they are just hiding it better 😅)

All in all, remember all the things you DO have and all the work you have put in. No matter what, you were a different version of yourself yesterday. 

• What did you learn, gain, do, that made you who you are today? 
• What progress have you made in the last 24 hours? 
• What reps did you put in during your workout? 
• What time, conversation, or lesson did you gain perspective, motivation, insights, or love?

These all contribute to your success. When you look at the big picture, I bet you’ll find the wins—and gain some confidence that you are actually pretty great. And you really got it going on. 😉
