Happiness grows when comparison fades

People often compare their success, their looks, wealth, societal status, careers, relationships, and lifestyles with those around them.

While it is okay to compare with one another, until it yields motivation and gives results, but when this comparison starts taking a toll on the mental peace, by causing stress, jealousy, or dissatisfaction, it must be stopped. Lest it has adverse effects.

Nowadays, instead of appreciating their own journey, many people become focused on what others have achieved.

But the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita advise us to focus more on inner peace, self-awareness, and contentment. It teaches people to do their own duties, actions, and divert their attention to their personal growth rather than constantly measuring themselves against others.
