You are pretty good 
I recently had someone tell me that I’m a pretty good volleyball player.
That made me think – compared to what?
Compared to backyard BBQ jungle ball players, I’m amazing. Compared to the guys on the Olympic team, I’m horrible. I’m a better player than some of the guys that I play with regularly. And, some of the guys that I play with regularly are better than me.
So, it really depends on who or what we compare ourselves to.
If I want to feel good about myself by managing my insecurities, I’ll take the comparison where I come out on top. If I want to better myself, I’ll take the comparison to those that are better than me and then get curious about how I can improve and what I need to do to play more like those guys.
Much Love,
Jonathan
