People are never doing what you think they are doing. No seriously. We get these thoughts in our heads that our friends are probably out partying this evening while we are at home sat in front of the TV. Or that our neighbours, the Jones’s, that we are – for some reason – always competing against, are working harder than us right now, making more money to buy an even better car / BBQ / lawnmower / whatever.
We think that people are living better lives than us. Doing better than us. Being better than us in some way. Why? Why do we think this way, or even think about others at all? Why not just focus on our own lives, our own achievements, how much better we are now than we were yesterday? It’s got to be a much better, a much healthier way of thinking.
