Reframe a Comparison That Is Making You Feel Behind

Someone your age owns a house, got the promotion, has two children and a pension, and you are comparing yourself to all of it simultaneously. This takes the specific comparison that is bothering you and names the assumption behind it, identifies what it is actually measuring, extracts the one piece of real information from it, and finds a more useful reference point. Without the platitude.

Reframe the comparison being made below that is producing a sense of being behind or inadequate.

1. Name the assumption in the comparison (that the other path and your path are in competition or should produce the same outcomes at the same pace)
2. What the comparison is measuring that has no bearing on the actual goal
3. The one genuine piece of information the comparison contains that is worth taking seriously
4. What a more useful comparison point would be

Four items. Two sentences each. No 'everyone is on their own path'.
