YOU're No better, YOU're just DIFFERENT !

When you're focused on self-development and improving your life, inevitably, you’re gonna start developing a bit of an ego and a superiority complex. Since you’re taking on new habits to improve your life and feel happy within yourself, you begin to look down on others for not doing the same. You start thinking: “Hey, I’m putting the work to improve and chasing dreams while everyone is asleep and not even in control of their lives. They’re unaware that they have no concept of self-improvement, and they’re just going to remain the same, so of course I’m better than them!”  While truth of the matter is that you are no better or worse than any human being – you are just different. First, you must realize that some people don’t have the same psychological drives or needs that you have. Some people don’t feel the need to self-actualize like you do. They are very comfortable in their own skin and with their lives. I’ve been there. It made me look down on people because I thought my perspective on life was the ‘right’ one, and those who didn’t break out of their comfort zone or explore had something wrong with their brains, indoctrinated by social conditioning. I was wrong. People are just different. Some want to explore, some want to build a nest. Neither is better. It's up to the person to decide. Also, empathize with people. Put yourself in their shoes for a change. Why condemn or look down on them, when all that separates you and others is the knowledge of what is possible. Certainly, that knowledge doesn’t make you better than any other human being. You have to understand people in the context of their story lives; what their life is like, how they grew up, what they've been through, etc. So stop worrying about being superior, because no matter what, you’ll never find enough evidence to prove that you are actually “better”. You will always compare yourself to others because you will always doubt your own superiority - unless you’re really deluded. Your ego will always try to compare yourself to others. Sometimes it’s necessary, but most of the time..just use your heart.
