Why You Should Never Compare Yourself To Another Person

In January, Omotola Jalade shared on her IG that she was grateful that at 40, her last child is already in the University. Remember she has four kids and she married quite early.

Funke Akindele (Jenifa) congratulated her on the post. Funke is 41, and just had her first babies in December of last year.

Now, if you try to compare these two women, you'd fail at it because they are both accomplished. Will you say Funke is unfortunate for just having her first babies at 41 while Omotola's last child is already in University?

My point? Stop comparing yourself with others! Your life journey isn't the same with anyone, irrespective of societal expectations. Some post on social media very wonderful updates like they are on top of the world but in reality they are miserable. Stop comparing yourself.

Not everyone will get married in their twenties.

Not every couple will have a baby nine months into marriage.

Not everyone will become a millionaire in their thirties.

Some people will get their dream jobs at 40, it doesn't mean they've failed.

Some will become CEO’s at 55.

Please learn to focus on your life.
