In the world of business, people often put up a façade so
people will see them a certain way. As humans, we tend to compare our mistakes
with everyone else’s highlight reel. Others may very well be happy and prosperous,
but there are struggles behind every success story. Obstacles make us grow and
allow us to keep moving forward.
Recently we attended an event in San Francisco where some
very unexpected conversations took place. I shared experiences with “ideal” professionals,
and heard stories that were relatable, comforting, and authentic. Listening to
people as they opened up and shared their struggles made me realize that I
shouldn’t let comparison steal my joy.
While the success and triumphs of others can be a great
inspiration to us, it is important not to lose sight of the hard work and
struggles on the way to the top. With that in mind, you never know what kind of
troubles someone might be having. Your kind gesture might be just what they
need for inspiration.
