It is easy to justify one's own shortcomings if one chooses the wrong comparison. Have a messy room, watch an episode of 'Hoarders.' Feel out of shape, watch 'My 600-Pound Life.' Wonder if you have what it takes to make it through college, watch a Tic Toc video. Jokes aside, we sometimes select bad examples that at best perpetuate mediocracy and keep us from reaching our full potential. I challenge you, don't go for the low bar, reach higher and aim for the stars. Rather than looking for an example where you can say, 'hey, at least I'm not that bad,' find positive role models who inspire you to be the best that you can be.
