My Two Cents – Ep. 59 – The “Up-Leveling Trap” and How to Avoid It   We’re often told that if we want to get further and have more success we must start surrounding ourselves with those who are doing what we want to do or are doing bigger things. This is a good thing, however, when we continually spend time with these types of people we start falling into the “up-leveling trap,” which is comparison.   We start feeling like we’re not doing enough because we’re not where they are. But here’s the thing…mentors are supposed to be ahead of you! Don’t compare your journey to theirs. Be conscious of your own journey and love where you’re at.   “You have to pause and look back at how far you’ve come instead of looking at how far you have left to go.”   Be grateful that someone else has done it first and is willing to share how to get you there. Be grateful they’ve given you a “roadmap.”   “Be grateful for who you are and what you have right now and what you’re doing, but be equally excited about where you’re going.”
