The greatest source of unhappiness is when we always compare with others instead of comparing ourselves with what we were yesterday. There will always be someone smarter,richer, wiser, popular. The key to true evolution is to be focused on our own progress. To put it simply it is indeed about looking at your own damn bowl.
I guess that for some folks looking at what others do acts like a distraction or an excuse.
Sleep hours don't get paid. Sleeping more than its necessary is just slacking. Again we come back to basics of self discipline. Looking at our own bowls and keep it going.
I think the internet is geared to finding and promoting these people who are at the extremes, and making the average feel inadequate. There is someone at every positive and negative extreme that can be leveraged as a control mechanism of the average person.
A sort of manipulation. It works. Since when being yourself is just average? Since being extremely photoshoped is the new normal. Women and men see all of these images of success and think that if they adhere they will be more accepted. All sorts of other "standards" of normality appear daily. We should embrace our uniqueness. Because each and every one of us is "averagely" unique.
