Everyone's life is their own making and, as such, they have developed their own belief system, have their own expectations, and carry around their own baggage.  With all of this, there is no way that any one person can accurately compare themselves to another person and expect to obtain a reasonable result.

Stop comparing yourself to others as everyone is different.  Stop diminishing yourself with negative judgments by always finding that you are less than anyone else in any particular way.  We're not more or less --- we're all just different.

When you make a mistake or don t progress the way you d like, it s easy to give up or to tell yourself that you can t do it. During times of personal change and growth, it s important to take it easy on yourself and treat yourself with care and respect.  It s important to give yourself an extra little push sometimes, but not through personal mental beatings.

Remind yourself of what your strengths are.  Review your values and motivations for creating the goal in the first place.  Look back at all your successes and tell yourself that it may take some time, but you can do it.  However, the only way you ll achieve any goal is to do it!  

Lighten up!  If you take yourself too seriously as you carry out your goals, you ll have no fun pursuing them and everyone around you will be overly cautious of you and your actions.  Manage your expectations and keep them realistic!  Instead of trying to conquer the world in one shot, break it up and just conquer your own little piece of it first.  Then, once you have control, expand your reach a bit.  By keeping your goals small and incremental, mixed with a light-hearted perspective, you will be able to get through the challenges to reach your ultimate Vision.
