    John Cordray, a Licensed Professional Counselor, explores the pervasive issue of comparison in our lives, highlighting three main syndromes: Imposter Syndrome, Envy Syndrome, and Grass is Greener Syndrome. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing these patterns and their impact on our self-worth and happiness. Drawing on Steve Jobs' wisdom, Cordray encourages listeners to focus on their own lives and find contentment rather than comparing themselves to others. Takeaways: Don't waste your time living someone else's life. Imposter syndrome is wishing you were better. Envy is called the thief of joy for a reason. The Grass is Greener syndrome keeps you stuck. Recognizing these syndromes can change your life forever. Focus on the good things and the things you're thankful for. Your time is limited, so don't waste it.
