Summary
~Today's Friday Food For Thought ~
When we're constantly striving for more in life, its hard not to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. The danger in this is that it leads us into a space of judgement and self-doubt. When we get to a place of comparing, and not feeling "good enough", it can rob one of the fulfillment, joy, and growth that is apart of each step in life's journey.
If you can relate and have experienced this before (or are right now), and you need a little reminder not to compare your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 20, today's episode is for you. Cheers!

| 0:14.0 | What's going on everybody? Welcome back to another episode of Millionaire Mindcast, the show that |
| 0:23.3 | focuses on all things, mindset, money, and motivation to help you increase your income, impact, |
| 0:30.5 | and influence. As always, I'm your host, Maddie A. It's great to be sharing a little bit of your |
| 0:35.2 | day with you. And hey, the fact that you're here just tells me you're committed to your growth, your success, and you're looking |
| 0:41.2 | for, you know, some kind of content or outlet that will empower you to find some nugget or |
| 0:47.8 | thought-provoking conversation or tool or resource that might allow you to, you know, take that |
| 0:52.6 | next leap in your wealth building journey, |
| 0:55.1 | in your fulfillment journey. So whatever that may be, hopefully today we'll be able to make |
| 0:59.9 | a little deposit in that bank. I was talking with a student of mine that's going through |
| 1:05.4 | one of my mastermind programs, and we were talking about really this whole topic of comparison and how |
| 1:13.6 | comparison is the thief of joy. And it's hard to not compare your chapter one to someone |
| 1:21.6 | else's chapter 20. And it's almost like comparing, you know, apples to oranges. |
| 1:27.5 | They're just not the same fruit. |
| 1:29.1 | They are different. |
| 1:30.3 | And really, that's how every individual person's journey is. |
| 1:34.7 | Each one has a different set of circumstances, |

| 1:47.7 | journey to somebody else's. Yes, I'm sure there's similarities, but there are also very many |
