There is nothing more natural than looking at others and wondering, "Will I ever be that good? Can I really do this?"
As a Hebrew educator, I hear it all the time. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed when you see how fluent others are compared to where you're starting from. But here’s the thing:
The key to success is in silencing the comparing voices whenever they start going off, and bring your focus back to your own journey and progress.
Everyone who is great at something and once started from zero made it not by worrying about how others were doing but by concentrating on their own next step.
They didn’t get bogged down thinking about someone at step 20 while they were at step 1. They just focused on getting to step 2, then step 3, and so on.
Comparing yourself to others never helps your progress unless it motivates you to push forward. It is quite easy to feel which of the two you are, so just tune in and you'll see for yourself. If comparing does not motivate and push you to work harder to get there too,
next time you catch yourself comparing, invest in shifting your focus back to your own progress. Celebrate every victory - big or small (I mean it! every victory), and remember -
The most productive comparison is between where you are today and where you were yesterday.
Keep your eyes on your path, enjoy each step of your learning, and let your journey be about you, not about anyone else.
