Comparing yourself to others, pleasing people in unhealthy ways, lacking confidence, not loving who you are, failing to be authentic, needing approval from people, being a control freak, and being selfish are ways that we suck the joy right out of our lives.
In her book, "Authentically, Uniquely You," Joyce Meyer teaches how to embrace your unique self and find freedom from comparison and trying to please everyone. Accepting and loving who you are is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
