Most of you, must be familiar with two sides of coin phrase.
but do you know what does it mean in your daily life?

one of my best friend ever send me a quote:
"The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.”
~Steve Furtick
Human tends to compare themselves with other highlight reel, without really think that everyone is facing their own struggles.
Have you ever open Facebook, looking at your friends pics - monthly holiday abroad, blue ocean, nice condo, good laugh with friends - and then suddenly you feel jealous and insecure and vulnerable about it?
Or have you ever read somewhere about your friend's career - s/he is very young and very successful - and then suddenly you feel jealous and insecure and vulnerable about it?
If yes, then try to see the other side of coins.
On your friend's holiday -
have you ever really think that they probably going abroad often to meet their parents who are lying on hospital there?
Or have you ever think that they probably often get assignment abroad yet never really have time for holiday, so that they made a little time to take a good picture as a souvenir?
On your friend's career -
have you ever really think about how many pressures and struggles they have faced in order to achieve that career? Nothing such as a free lunch in life.
Or have you ever really think about how hard is it for them to find free time, even to take care of themselves ? you probably could never imagine.
It is always about two sides of coin.
One self probably have a good settle beautiful life, but who are us judging that they achieve it without struggles and discipline?
Life is not only about you being unlucky comparing to other.
