Comparison is the thief of joy.
I know how it feels - I’ve been there. Your friend aped into a shitcoin that did a 10,000x and sold at the top? Your normie buddies went all-in on XRP and suddenly quadrupled their net worth?
It’s easy to let jealousy creep in, wondering why they’ve “made it” and you haven’t.
You who spent the days and the nights hustling. You who gave up sleep, family time, holidays to read charts and latest updates.
But here’s the thing -
Having "more" doesn’t make you better. Having "less" doesn’t make you worse.
The same person who struck gold shitcoining/gambling could lose it all tomorrow - likely caused by the same habits that got them there. Easy come, easy go. Real wealth, "financial, emotional, and mental", takes time and effort to build up. The faster you chase it, the easiser it is to lose sight of what really matters.
Are you chasing their success, or are you building your own?
Some questions to ask:
- Are you a better version of yourself today?
- Are you content with your own journey?
- Are you more knowledgeable than you were yesterday?
True wealth isn’t just numbers on a screen.
It’s the ability to wake up without being eaten up by stress. It’s the freedom to make your own choices without being chained to fear or greed. It's in building something that's sustainable and outlasts you.
Money is a tool that amplifies what’s already within someone. For some, it enables kindness, charity, and meaningful contributions to family and society. For others, it magnifies selfishness, greed, or arrogance. The key is in the character you've built (or not).
This journey builds character, and character is priceless.
These struggles, lessons, patience and discipline you develop along the way as you work toward your goals are what shapes you. Setbacks build up resilience, wins teach humility, and decisions sharpens your judgement. At the end, it's not about how much you have, but who you become along the way.
As you focus on building your character and wealth comes your way, you learn to keep, grow, and use it wisely.
Don’t let other's successes rob you of gratitude for your own progress.
Maybe you’re stacking up slowly and steadily, but that’s a solid foundation. Maybe you’re learning patience, discipline, and how to manage risk. These are skills no market volatility can take away from you.
The truth is, wealth isn’t a destination; it’s a tool.
A tool to give you freedom, not a badge of honor to compare with others.
When you feel the sting of comparison, remember this:
The only game worth playing is the one you’re building for yourself. That’s where the real riches are—freedom, growth, and peace of mind.
What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul
