Comparison Really is the Thief of Joy
I was journalling last night about what my main issues were that were keeping me up at night. The night before, I’d slept at midnight, despite getting into bed at 10:30 pm just because I was overthinking constantly. I felt all the emotions, resentment, anger, fear, discouraged and dejected. I had some news from work this week about a change in my job title and responsibilities. I realised most of my negative feelings were due to comparison, which has had such a hold on me for far too long.

It was probably bad weather so I couldn't play outside and I generally felt very down in the dumps and unmotivated. I couldn't wait to get back to school on Monday.

How I Almost Joined an MLM
I have a mentor that I work with on my career goals, let's call him Sam. Sam is a trusted individual in my life, who I can also call a friend and have a professional relationship with. He’s a sharp guy, big into self-help books and personal and professional development. He often spoke about his ‘business’ that he worked on evenings and weekends, but remained vague when I asked about what it is. I knew he was part of a mentorship group, that he spent a lot of his free time on travelling to London for ‘leadership conferences’ and attended online seminars on personal development. In one of our mentor sessions, I may have expressed an interest in creating some passive income, but still needed to look for ideas.
