    I often feel so ineffectual at life. Especially after I watch or read about successful people, and then I reflect that I’ve achieved absolutely nothing.

      I feel this. You can’t judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. We are all on our own journeys. I believe that no one is better than anyone because of what they’ve achieved, rather everyone is just different.

      It’s so easy to fall into the trap of comparing - I hypothesise it goes back to evolution. I used to compare myself to people a lot, but now I realise it just makes me feel like shit most of the time because I haven’t achieved anything. I like to redirect comparison thoughts to thinking about what my goals and values are and what I want to achieve to make me feel fulfilled.
