EP18 Perception Welcome to episode 18 of the Fail Forward podcast.   If you have ever caught yourself comparing your life, business or situation to others, this episode is for you.    Comparisonitis is possibly one of the most dangerous activities we can engage in when it comes to damaging our feelings of self-worth or our mindset. And the explosion of social media platforms over the last two decades has only exacerbated the problem beyond measure    Yet - if we are honest about our own social media habits - most of us only share the good stuff. So why do we think other people aren’t doing the same?    The reality is, you only ever see a fraction of the time, effort or dedication it takes anyone to achieve anything that you aspire to. Like an iceberg, the most telling detail is below the surface.    The “it’s alright for them” thought pattern is negative, unhealthy and takes real effort to escape from. And it’s a distraction from you achieving your goals and dreams.    In this episode we explore: How long it takes to get good at something new Why there is value in the learning process How to enjoy the journey, not just the end goal The truth about people who are brilliant   If this episode resonates with you and you’d like to find out how I have broken out of negative thought patterns please reach out.
