Ok so we’ve all seen and heard about the viral lip balms like Summer Fridays and Laneige. Recently, I have also been seeing the elf “dupe” of those lippies. Being a lip balm addict, I ordered it to figure out if it was worth the hype and if we should all be saving our money. Here’s what I found! ➡️

Stop comparing yourself to others
We need to stop comparing ourselves to others. Especially as first generations, we're doing this with no roadmap, no connections, no guidance. All we have is that work ethic and determination our parents gave us. For some of us it'll take a little bit longer, we'll have to take a couple

How to stop comparing yourself
Comparing yourself to others is almost automatic—it’s how the brain tries to measure progress and belonging. The problem is that it quietly distorts reality and drains your confidence. You don’t have to eliminate comparison completely, but you can take control of how much it affects you. #chris

Stop chasing someone else’s version of success. When you define your own values, you set your own scorecard. Your goals don’t need to look like theirs. They just need to align with what matters most to you. The moment you measure your life by your values, comparison loses its grip. #healing
