“Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today”
— Jordan Peterson

Simplified Meaning:
Focus on your own progress instead of comparing yourself to others. Imagine you're trying to learn how to play the guitar. If you compare yourself to a famous guitarist, you might feel discouraged because they're so much better. But if you think about how much better you've become since yesterday or last week, you can see your own improvement clearly. It's like running a race against yourself; yesterday, you finished the track in 10 minutes, and today you did it in 9. Feeling proud of your own growth can motivate you to keep getting better. Instead of worrying about others, celebrate your own achievements, no matter how small they seem.
