What are healthy ways for men to measure their worth?
Read in 2 mins
It can be too easy for men to fall into the trap of measuring their worth against the achievements, beautiful bodies and successes of others.
You scroll through your feeds, seeing friends and acquaintances posting about their promotions, relationships and adventures and you can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy or inadequacy.
You look at images of gorgeous men and wonder why you don’t have such a beautiful body.
But comparing yourself to others is a dangerous game. It robs you of your joy and contentment and leads to feelings of unworthiness and insecurity.
You forget that everyone’s journey is unique and what may be success for one person may not be the same for another.
Instead of focusing on what others have or what they have accomplished, turn your attention inwards and reflect on your own strengths, values and goals.
Success is not a one-size-fits-all concept and you have your own path to follow.
Comparing yourself to others also overlooks the fact that what you see on social media is often a curated highlight reel.
People tend to showcase their best moments and achievements but rarely do they share the struggles and failures that inevitably come with success.
So, the next time you find yourself falling into the comparison trap, take a step back and remind yourself that you are on your own unique path.
Focus on your own growth and progress and celebrate your victories, no matter how small they may seem.
Because the only person you should be comparing yourself to is the man you were yesterday… or the man you’ll become tomorrow.
I came to see you the first time because your web site presented you as a professional, not someone sleazy or out to make a quick buck. The reason I keep coming back is that you ARE a professional.
