Compare and Contrast

Comparison is the Thief of Joy 

Avoid comparing yourself to others. It’s important to have goals, aspirations, and targets, but make sure they are clearly defined and achievable. This way, players can track their progress and celebrate their improvements along the way. 

Too often, players focus on where they want to be without planning the steps to get there. Make the journey both fun and rewarding. Every player develops at their own pace and follows their own path. We all reach our goals eventually, but the journey looks different for everyone. 

Remember, everyone has unique circumstances — different lifestyles, family situations, physical abilities, and mental strengths. There’s no need to rush. Enjoy the process and appreciate your own progress.
