Are you constantly comparing yourself to other people and feeling miserable about it?

I think you are because you clicked on this video, but that's no problem because I am here to save you.

I am here to teach you how you can finally stop comparing yourself

because comparing yourself to other people constantly is literally one of the worst things you can do for yourself.

There's that quote that says comparison is the thief of joy

and it's so true

because no matter how good your life is how pretty you are how successful you are

if you constantly compare yourself to other people it will never feel enough

because there will always be someone trust me

there will always be someone who is better than you in

something who is prettier than you who is more successful than

you who has who has more privileges than you whatever

if you look for it you will find it

so by constantly comparing yourself you are literally making yourself feel miserable

because you will never never never never ever feel enough

if you always look at others why should you always look for everyone else

if you know

that this makes you feel miserable instead of just looking at yourself you should take your time

and you should take your energy and put it back into yourself okay

so the first thing i really need you to understand is

that someone else being good does not make you less you really need to understand it

because people who tend to compare themselves a lot they tend to feel bad

when someone else has something good when someone else is pretty they feel less

when someone else is successful they feel less and this is

so bad because as i said there will always be someone who is good at something

or better at something than you are and when other people's achievements

or when other people's privileges make you feel less this is this is not good okay this is

so bad for your confidence i once heard that quote

that says another person's beauty is not the absence of your own

and i love this quote because this is

so true other people's success other people's beauty other people's whatever does not have any impact on your life

you need to understand this just

because someone else is pretty it does not make you less pretty just

because someone else is successful it does not make you less successful

and when you really understand this point you will become

so much more confident because you finally stop feeling like everyone else is better than you.

And also beauty, let's take beauty in this example, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.

Everyone else has a different definition of beauty or attractiveness or whatever.

You might look at someone and you wish you look like them

because you feel like they're the prettiest girl in the world.

But at the same time, someone else might look at you thinking the same thing about you,

even though you don't think this about yourself you really need to understand

that beauty is always in the eye of the beholder

and i once read a quote i know in this video this video is full of quotes

but i love them a quote that said flowers are pretty

but so are sunsets and they look nothing alike sunsets

and flowers do not have to compete with each other

because both are beautiful in their own way someone might think

that flowers are more beautiful someone might think that sunsets are more beautiful

but there is beauty in everything really in everything and just

because someone might like sunsets more than flowers it does not change

that both of them are beautiful even though not everyone thinks

that both of them are equally beautiful okay the next thing i want you to understand is

that you really need to remember

that you always just see a little part in someone else's story okay

you most of the time we don't see the whole story of someone else

we just see their lives we see that their lives look perfect we see

that they are successful they are beautiful whatever

and we are like oh my gosh i wish i was them

i wish i looked like them i wish i had their life they are

so lucky whatever but i don't think

that you really want to trade your life with someone else

because you never really know what someone else had to go through to get to where they are right

now i once saw a video where someone said imagine everyone

on this planet would put their problems in one pot including yourself of course

and without looking you would have to pick someone else's problem

and you would have to trade your problems with this person's problems would you take

that risk i don't think that you would i really thought about this

and i was like no

when i really imagine what kind of things happen on this planet i would not i have my problems

and i don't like my problems i need to say this

but i would not want to trade problems with anyone else really

because everyone everyone has their problems okay everyone has their difficulties in life

and even though it doesn't look like it trust me everyone has their struggles just look at me for example

i don't look like what i went through you just see how i look

you see what i'm doing you see that i make youtube videos

and you might think oh my god she's so lucky whatever

but you don't know what i went through

and you don't know what i had to do to get to this point in my life okay okay

i have to say you know

because I'm talking about my life on this channel more than I'm talking about it in my real life

because you are my little

youtube family but really the next time before you compare yourself to someone else remind yourself

that you don't see their full story

and even though they look like they're the luckiest person on this planet

you don't really know what goes on in their lives

and this is also unfair to you to just compare yourself to the good things you are seeing

but you are letting out all the bad things you're not seeing

and this is also the reason why you should only compare yourself to your past self

because as i said there will

if you look for it there will always be someone who

is better than you in something more successful more pretty blah blah blah i already said it

and you can't change anything about it you will feel so helpless

because just looking at other people will make you feel like you are the victim you're just sitting there

and feeling like everyone else is more privileged than you everyone else has a better life than you

and you will you will end up being a victim in your own story

but when you compare yourself to yourself only

and to your past self you can actually do something

when you didn't like

100

that you were lazy yesterday you actually have the power to change it today you can say i didn't like

101

that i didn't do anything productive yesterday today i'm going to have the most productive day ever

102

so your goal should not be to be better than everyone else

103

or to catch up with everyone else your goal should be to be better than the person

104

you were yesterday okay but what can be helpful

105

when you compare yourself to other people instead of envying them is to turn your comparison into inspiration

106

because most of the time

107

when people compare themselves to other people they kind of feel jealous

108

that this person has something that they would want to have too

109

but when you let yourself be jealous of other people you will become miserable

110

because jealousy is a disease jealousy is a disease the feeling is normal the feeling of jealousy is normal

111

but how we handle this feeling can really change the outcome you can sit there

112

and say they don't really deserve it they're too lucky they didn't have to work for it whatever

113

or you can ask yourself why do i feel jealous right now you really need to be conscious of yourself

114

and ask yourself why do i feel jealous right now do i want the same thing

115

that this person has and

116

if the answer is yes the answer can be yes then instead of just sitting there

117

and victimizing yourself ask yourself what can i do to achieve the same thing

118

this is also an opportunity to get your power back because

119

when you just sit there and feel jealous nothing will change

120

but when you ask yourself what can i do to achieve the same thing you take your power back

121

because at this point you can do something

122

you can act let's say the person

123

you're jealous of has a nice toned body whatever instead of just sitting there

124

and being jealous of her ask yourself do i want the

125

same thing do i also want a nice toned body and

126

if the answer is yes ask yourself what can i do to achieve

127

this goal do i need to watch what i'm eating do

128

i need to go to the gym more do i have

129

to increase my daily steps what do i have to do

130

and then you can work towards that goal it's really

131

so helpful for you when you can catch yourself

132

when you compare yourself and being honest to yourself that you

133

that you are feeling a little jealous right now

134

but then instead of victimizing yourself

135

and feeling bad about yourself turning this comparison into inspiration

136

and actually taking action in your own life this will really change everything it will change your life

137

because you are taking action and it will also change how you feel about yourself

138

and you will stop feeling so miserable just

139

because someone else has something nice

140

and the last thing i want to say in this video is

141

that you really need to focus on your own path okay i told you

142

that you can turn your comparison into inspiration yes

143

but the message of this video is

144

that you need to focus on yourself okay because

145

when you're constantly busy looking at everyone else

146

and comparing yourself to everyone else

147

there will be no time left to look at yourself

148

there will be no time left to look at your own path

149

and this is why i'm always saying it's

150

so important to limit your social media consumption

151

because the the biggest source of comparison

152

we have today is social media our brains are not made

153

to look at hundreds of different lives every single day but

154

when we spend hours

155

and hours on social media every single day we will end up comparing ourselves no matter how conscious we are

156

because it's too much it's too much for our brains

157

so please do yourself a favor and limit your social media consumption

158

because when you don't look at

159

so many people every single day you don't have to compare yourself to

160

so many people every single day

161

because you don't see them this is the first thing

162

and the second thing is

163

when you don't spend your whole day on social media you will actually have more time

164

and more energy to pour into yourself to pour into your own path to build your own life

165

i i think it's crazy how many people don't realize

166

that they are wasting their time watching other people's lives instead of building their own

167

so yeah guys that's it for today's video i really hope it was helpful

168

because comparison comparing yourself to other people it's it's all kind of automatic

169

but we can really change our behavior and our relationship towards comparison

170

so that we don't feel miserable and

171

that we actually do something in our lives to make yourselves happy anyway guys

172

i will say i'll see you in my next video

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
