Define Your Own Success: Letting go of Comparison in Real Estate and Life
Comparison is the thief of joy. 🙏❤️
When we define our success relative to others we hand the key to our happiness to a metric that we no longer get to define for ourselves. This loss of control increases our stress and anxiety. This increase in stress and anxiety overflows into our relationships with our loved ones and the relationships we have with ourselves. The real estate trading industry is one of the worst modern industries for these comparisons. For almost a decade I let this mindset of constant comparison rob me of my contentment. It negatively impacted my relationships and my health. Take your power back and define success for yourself. Do not let Gross Commission Income rankings impact your self-worth. It's a mistake. Success is defined by our health, our relationships, and our gratitude.
