In a finite game where there's beginning, middle, and end, sure, there's a winner and a loser. But in business or life- Yeah.

You can win without other people. You can hit your numbers. You can beat your numbers. And it doesn't mean that the other company has to go into bankruptcy. 100%. Right? Like you can compete to win, but you cannot compete for the other person to lose. And for some reason in this modern day and age, it is not enough for us to win. We also want to ensure that the others around us lose.

And that's nonsense. And this is why I say, this is going right back in full circle where we started. This is why comparison's a thief of joy. Because it's not enough that your life is good. You want your life to be better than somebody else. You want somebody else's life to suffer so you can feel better. Why can't you just be happy with what you've got? Interesting.

Why can't you just be grateful? Right? Okay, they have more money than you, but your kids are better. Interesting. Like, we don't spend enough time. This is why you have the gratitude practice. It sounds so ooey, gooey, mushy, you know, hippy-dippy.

But I swear, I swear you wake up in the morning or before you go to bed at night, especially if you've got somebody sleeping next to you and just say, can we spend a minute, even if you do it by yourself and just say five things we're grateful for, even if it's the same thing every night. I love our family. I love our home. I loved the dinner you made tonight for us.

I loved that we went on vacation, and I love that we have a vacation coming up. And you realize very quickly life's pretty good. But when we do the comparison game, all we focus on is the things that are missing. Can you imagine going to bed at night and talking about all the things I hate about my life and all the things that are lacking? Exhausting. But we'd all be depressed. Yeah.

And people do it all the time. And we do it all the time. And you know one thing that I've done that's helped me? I have to have Instagram because I need to look at it for work every now and then. I deleted it. On an iPhone, you can hide an app from anywhere on your phone. It's just hidden. And you have to search for it to get it.

And I took it out of the search suggestions, which you can do as well. So literally, it shows up nowhere unless I type in I-N-S-T and then it pops up. My use of Instagram has plummeted. Wow. Plummeted. Plummeted. Because it's just not accessible right now. You know when you're just looking at your phone because you're bored and you're just swiping through the screen and you click on Instagram.

It's just... I'm not clicking on it and I'm not searching for it because I don't need it. Oh, and I've turned off all the notifications. That's a big one. That's great. Yeah, I don't have that. I've turned off all my notifications. But just by not having it visible, I'm the happier person. Wow.
