Don't compare yourself to their sanitized versions on social media, the masks they wear.

And don't compare your life to another time in your life or a relationship to another relationship or even the current relationship and just a different time in that relationship.

You're getting ready to sabotage your relationship, your success, your happiness, your emotions if you compare.

So, so far, people that sabotage focus on the past.

They focus on what they lack or don't have and they compare.

The fourth thing people do that sabotage themselves is they focus on things they can't control instead of the things they can control.

There's a lot of different things you can't control.

You can't control other people.

You can't control their behavior.

You can't control the market.

You can't control interest rates.

You can't control what's going on in the world around you.

One of the great distractors in life that steals people's joy is the media.

The media is constantly feeding you things that you cannot control that you ought to be very upset about.

And many of the things that you see, you should be upset about.

There's so many things going on in the world that are tragic and hurtful and disgusting and

make you wonder about humanity.

And you should spend some of your time focusing on those things and trying to make a difference for them.

But at the same time, if you obsess in that world in the media of all things you can't control, all of them, you begin to become habitual about focusing on other things you can't control in your life and you're going to sabotage your own life.

You're going to.
