Daily Leader Tip: Comparison Fallacy

June 14, 2023

What is Comparison Fallacy?

“The Comparison Fallacy assumes that it's possible to compare your skills, priorities, goals, and results with other people in an accurate and useful manner. Other people are not you, and you are not other people. You have unique skills, goals, and priorities.”

As we’re growing our careers we often compare ourselves to others and can fixate on their achievements.

This can cause us to lose steam and procrastinate.

What’s really important to acknowledge is everyone is different and they’re on their own journey.

Some are a few chapters in front or behind you, others several books….

Some will get there fast and some will get there slowly.

The most important thing is that you’re working on yourself and continuing to move forward towards your own goals and aspirations.

Anything else is a distraction.
