Have you ever thought that something was wrong with you, because everyone else was doing something different? (I ended up thinking that's actually a good sign)
Silicon Valley Girl Yes! I'm thinking about that all the time. Sometimes I feel so immature compared to my classmates who have their own families already. And I have never had serious kind of relationships yet because I'm too busy with my studies and career. People keep saying that I'm strange (parents included) and it affects my perception of myself of course. Sometimes it is so uncomfortable to be me in that environment 😃
Silicon Valley Girl yes! With my classmates... but about a month ago I realized that we are so different and if I have my goal and I’m trying to achieve it, then I must not stop 🛑 now our ways with them are different, I’m going to another school, but that’s because it is the next step to my DREAM❤️ (of course, I will still communicate with my friends) But the point is I’m feeling kind of out of time in my 15 and trying to become better every day and obtain as many skills as possible , sometimes it seems weird to others how I’m acting, but I now I m doing the right thing :)
This is so true. I was thinking about this when I realised that I spend too much time in Instagram watching and comparing. It made me feel like I am nothing. I said to myself "Stop watching, work!".
Hey Marina! I watched all your videos on getting into the ivy league last year, I am an international student and thanks to you! I got admitted to Harvard Class of 2022!!!
Marina this is so inspiring! Currently I’m facing critical moments, choked by standards from my surroundings, people misunderstood and mistreated me, but then I realized this is the perfect time to invest on myself and break all those barriers, pushing myself to the limit! You are very positive and inspiring, thank you and greetings from Indonesia ❤️
I love your advice. Yes, let us stop comparing ourselves to others because we don't know what they have been through or what they are going through. We are all the same human being, but we have different dreams and different approach to life. You are right, the only biggest competition we have is ourselves. :-)
Marina, I can't tell how well I understand you ! We are raised in a society where we often compare to out school mates and continuously searching for external validation. Then, there come a moment when you stop and realize that you have done the best choices for you, to be happy and fulfilled no matter what other people say. I was born in Romania and lived there for 20 years, then moved in France. My friends were wondering why I'm sacrificing my student life going abroad and doing part-time jobs instead of parties (I went to some parties too, but less than others). Now I'm so happy of my achievements, of the teachings life came with and I don't regret my choices.
That's what I did for a while. I was always comparing myself with someone who seems have better consequence than me but now I know that makes you tie up yourself. Now I’m moving in Mexico from Japan and started my own life there. That makes me feel like living my life! I totally agree with you. Great video anyway!
Hey beauty!!!! Yess!!!! I'm 28 and still trying to find to myself and my future. Thanks for doing this videos, I'm still learning and improving my English, hope to have your level soon :)
Looking at you I feel a lot of motivation and inspiration to work harder and harder to achieve my life goals! Thank you for doing that! And yes, about relatives and getting married - so true))
These are really good points. I found out there's a root to comparing one's self to others, and it's usually being hard on one's self for not being able to achieve something that they perceive should've been granted to them. Half of the struggle is working towards a goal, and the other half (sometimes more than half) is cracking the whip. The longest-lasting successful people I know don't have the stress of doing what they do to maintain their achievements. The ones who stress often cannot keep the boat steady for a long time.
I'm 14,I live in Moscow 😊 I feel I'm very similar to you,Marina! I stopped wasting my time,improved my English,started to learn Spanish and decided to work on portraits drawing (drawing is one of passions of my life) I'm dedicated to improve my grades and overcome the thought that I'm bad at Maths this school year I watch a lot of inspiring videos including yours and that helps me believe that I'll be successful in the future if I don't waste my time and work hard to improve all my skills And yes,I haven't had a relationship with anyone yet unlike my classmates for example 😃 Thanks for all the videos 💙 xoxo
Hi, Marina, I'm here from your main channel and I just wanted to say you're such an inspiration and you deserve all the success you've achieved. Every single word is true. Also, great editing!
I have recently joined this group on FB that National Geography started that is called women of impact. It is a wonderful group showcasing powerful women. They do inspire me but I also feel pretty shitty about myself at the moment. All these amazing women are doing these amazing things and I am here in a different country working on a farm, where my countryman are struggling with hate, unemployment, abuse etc, but thank you for reminding me that I shouldn't compare myself to them. No one else has walked my path and I am sure some would have made it our better than me other may not have, but from now on I want to start making an impact in this world and it starts by improving myself... it really starts with having the discipline to start improving myself. I use the excuse that I am physically exhausted from work in the evening, but it is just an excuse. I can and will do better.
What you said is so true, everyone does it and it becomes a struggle to keep up! Just believe in yourself and your dreams will come true and you'll be much happier !
What a beautiful personality girl! I'm 28 and totally felt you in this video! Currently I'm just enjoying life, planning to do all sorts of things! I was still engaged a few month ago, but that is over now. Life can be so much fun! look at it from the bright side and follow your passion and be nice to people, and great things will simply follow!
I am so happy I came across your channel... I am "In the process" (because IT IS a work in progress) of transitioning from office job in the energy sector, to starting my own company within wine. You are very inspirational and looking what life someone my age can have really motivates me to make a change!!
I agree with you marina, sometimes when I compared myself with others people, I just looked the bad things from myself but I didn't realize how many good things that I have or I did.
Hi Marina! I hope you see this comment! I am from Mexico and actually I had the problem you describe here: Compare myself to others. Trying to do better than others. Often, it is cool right because on this way you can see your own potential. But sometimes it goes wrong, you fail and you regret about what you did, what you did not do, etc. Thank you Marina: you are an inspiration, every message you try to transmit in every video you do: I try to follow it. Greetings from Mexico and i will continue watching you magical and beautiful creations here: your videos.
It's so nice to posted kind of this information over here, you are really so smart keep going on. and we need more video to learn English form you ,, thank you so much i like your style when you talking
hi,marina. Jozel here from Philippines. i have the same problem that i just recently realize knowing that I'm 26,call center agent with a partner blessed by two sons. All of sudden, i started to be aware of my jealousy because of continuing comparing my self to others. And feel bitter about it.This blogs really make sense to me. So thank you marina.
Ooh marina Whenever I feel disappointed in my life then I watch video in your channel ,I really feel better ,believe in my self and get excited to do great things in my life and be good person Thanx from all my heart ❤
Great advice, it’s one of the most challenging things to overcome especially because of societies pressure. We always have to run our own races and be laser focused on what brings us joy.
Hi Marina ! It is amazing to see such a beautiful video . I know that I'm a bit late to post a comment but when i saw it I couldn't stop myself to post a comment . Thankyou so much for motivating us with your energy .I'm almost following you for 2 years and i'm really greatful that i found you on my feed one day while scrolling .Thanku for making every video relateable .THANKYOU ,THANKYOU VERY MUCH ❤💫💥
this is so true. I am in england for studying english. I am trying not to compare myself to others. it is good for focusing on study and make me convenient!
I have same situation right now. I have studied in the U.S. for a year as an exchange student. But when I get back a lot of my friends had boyfriends and other things. I am happy to know that I am doing right thing ( Studying and improving myself) Thank you)))
I have always compared myself with others and - lucky me - I was often the winner. But once when school was over, I got aware that me and my mind didn't fit in society. I was too far ahead. So I forced myself to slow down to give my environment the chance to develop so that I could fit in. After some years I didn't feel comfortable any longer. I made a huge step forwards - and broke up with nearly everything (my work, my apartment, my girlfriend, lots of friends). Now, some years later, I'm standing exactly in front of the same situation. I'm ready to make a huge step forward and this time I feel, that it will last longer and I'm not ready to slow down again (like after the first break up). I want to go on and want to see how far my ideas and my mind will bring me. But I am in doubt, that I could leave a huge mess and that it will lead into more break ups with people. Can you give me advice?
I really like his video, it reminds me that everything have something good and something bad so you can compare your self with someone else but many times we only focus in the good things and we didn’t want to See the bad things
I had the bad habbit of camparing myself with my dad and my dad's friends. Not in money or profesional success, but in people skills and problem solving skills. Many times i found myself very down the road and made me felt unconfident. What I did to lift me up is comparing me with people my age or so. That perspective is much more kind with me. Now I don't compare myself with others anymore. It's much easier.
I and one of my best friends working so hard on our English intonation, English educations and trying to be improving in our life and we are allways spending our time in our education and I hope everybody to be successful in there educations
Great video and looking forward to the next one! Glad I found a new up and coming channel. You are beautiful by the way. Take care! Oh and that house is amazing. Lol
Love your channel Marina! I'm interviewing with Google there in Mountain View next week so have been watching your vids. I must say though, I love it here in LA!
Marina, you are so inspiring! Thank you for your honest and wonderful videos! I've just found your channel and started to watch your videos from the very beginning. You are amazing!
Hey Marina, Amongst your several good videos this is the BEST one I would love to talk with you now and really makes me feel connected as I am not the only one who thinks like this... Thanks
The end of average book by Todd Rose helped me a lot with this problem. And also traveling and discovering new cultures = different life priorities did a lot for me. there isn't think like an average person, so each life is different.
I was lucky because I found your channel spontaneously. I really admire you because you have a strong charisma, extremely beautiful and smart. I love ur channel , keep it up.

awesome
Are you Russian?

Watching Instagram pics is one of the best ways to compare and harm you. Be happy with who you are and what you do 😍

Marina this is so inspiring!

You are very positive and inspiring, thank you and greetings from Indonesia ❤️
I know these feelings. Keep on investing in yourself and believe in yourself

You are correct we should not compare cause we all have a unique path to go.
We can learn from each others experience but not compare.
I totally agree! As you said is more important to keep on improving our knowledge, career... that getting married...
I am older then you are, bur you really inspired me to make same changes in my life. Thank you so much for this.
I agree with you marina, sometimes when I compared myself with others people, I just looked the bad things from myself but I didn't realize how many good things that I have or I did.

Marina, I love your a way to be. you are very supportive.
You are amazing Marina. You inspire me each day more and more. Big hug from Brazil! :)

Thank you so much for this!
Omg, you are pure love! ♥️
The end of average book by Todd Rose helped me a lot with this problem.
And also traveling and discovering new cultures = different life priorities did a lot for me.
there isn't think like an average person, so each life is different.
Things always seem to work themselves out in the end. If something doesn't work out, people are nevertheless drawn to people with a positive attitude.
Thanks marina for your firey speech
I was lucky because I found your channel spontaneously. I really admire you because you have a strong charisma, extremely beautiful and smart. I love ur channel , keep it up. I hope one day, I could reach my dream also to travel around world .Everyone has own their time, I believe it and started to stop compare my self with others. Thank You Marina 😍
Марина, спасибо за очередную порцию мотивации! Не перестаю гордиться 🙏🏼
from india.i love your spirits.many things i learnt from you.and still learning.lucky that i found you
Agree. Don’t compare yourself to others!
Really nice tip, compare yourself to yourself yesterday!
Yes, you are right Marina !
