lol - you gotta get over that. Would you feel like you’re wasting time in your job if he was broke or the startup was struggling? Probably not. As time goes on, this happens more. I have friends who are like this and I have no jealousy or envy towards them. Sure, it’d be great if I had all that money - but what good does that feeling do? Unless you can turn this feeling into actionable steps that improve your wellbeing - stop thinking about it. It’s completely worthless otherwise. Comparison is the thief of joy. |

Right, that was my experience with other friends who got into the startup game.

I'm definitely not jealous and I'm not even sure I'm envious but there's definitely an unhelpful comparison going on in my mind. I completely understand this from a rational standpoint - but trying to remind myself not to compare myself to others hasn't actually resulted in me comparing myself to others less. I need the thing that helps me go from "I understand this line of thinking leads to unhelpful feelings" to actually stopping the thinking. My mind goes there on its own...
