I compare a lot. In doing so I take a negative look at myself. I think I limit myself in thinking of what I can and can’t do. I do this particularly in the fields of interest that I have. Picture taking, graphic design, etc. I try to prove myself in my abilities to be accepted by my peers, and receive some sort of positive criticism to affirm what I am doing is good. It’s more of a dependency on acceptance and performance.

I don’t like living this way. God has given me gifts and abilities. While its good to be pushed to be better, its unhealthy to compare and think you can never achieve a goal of being as good as others. Its a driving force and is quite depressing at times to be truthful about the matter.
