“Comparison is the thief of joy”
As a site Q, I often have to be at the same site every Monday. I often will get a little jealous of guys who now have the option of moving around on Mondays to different sites. So, I was grateful for the opportunity to swap Qs today with Patton and Mulligan and lead you mean in a beatdown while they lead Octagon.
It’s easy to get into a trap of comparison with other men in our lives. Whether it be in F3, at work, at church, etc. We look at other men’s social status or financial standing or physical fitness and start to beat ourselves up or get envious. This can then rob of us of the joy of seeing the blessings right in front of us. We need to remember to be grateful.
We also need to remember that every single man you meet is either going through or has gone through some sort of struggle in their life. You don’t know what that is, so you can’t judge them. I love F3 because all of our pretenses are stripped away in the gloom and our society’s need to constantly compare each other is done away with.
That being said…when you feel the temptation to compare yourself against someone, kick that temptation in the teeth!
