Stop comparing yourself to your goals. Thomas M. Sterner, in “The Practicing Mind,” explains this with his flower analogy. A flower isn’t perfect only when it blooms. it is perfect at each stage of its development [1]. Therefore, constantly comparing yourself to your goals can create stress and frustration. Rather, focus on the process and your daily efforts. In fact, by doing so it builds patience and persistence. Sterner’s book shows that enjoying the journey makes your progress more satisfying and meaningful. By focusing on what you do each day, you grow steadily and are perfect each day you progress. So, stop your comparison to goals and start appreciating your daily progress.
