But, you are disappointed because the opposite of your expectation happens in your workplace.

Your boss is nasty.

You have to endure the bullying of your higher officials\colleagues.

You are persistently denied your promotion.

You want to decide the life of your children – They want to live their life according to their wish.

Your relationship with your spouse is often complicated and confrontational.

Comparison is the worst way of complicating your life.

You persistently compare your life with others.

Has your colleague\friend\relative bought a big car?

You immediately compare their big luxurious car with the smaller one you have. You feel let down and unhappy that your car is not as big and luxurious as theirs.

The happiness you felt when you bought your car just a few months ago ends immediately.
