Do you often find you compare or compete with others?  Do you walk into a networking event and start sizing yourself up with the other women in the room?

For some people competition drives them to break out of complacency and  to get their butt into action.  And you know what?  That is totally ok and sometimes necessary.    But for a lot of other women they compare themselves to others and end up feeling like a failure or feeling inadequate in some way.    My good friend Linda always says that comparison only brings about misery and unhappiness.  I totally agree.

If you are comparing yourself to others you are probably measuring yourself against someone else’s expectations, against someone else’s yardstick and you’re the one coming up short.

So instead, when you find yourself comparing yourself to others…catch yourself!  And then instead of measuring yourself against someone else, ask yourself these couple of questions.

1. Am I living up to my full potential?
2. What is the opportunity to here for me to step up more powerfully into my greatness and do what I know is best for me?

Now when you ask these questions you are going to find that you immediately stop comparing yourself to others, which by the way is going to feel really good!  You’re going to stop feeling like you are not good enough and instead you are going to feel more powerfully aligned with your truth and your greatness.  And that is the most powerful place to take action from, guaranteed!
