How Comparison Blocks Abundance, and How to Come Home to What’s Truly Yours
Filip Sardi | Issue 001: The Remembering | April 30th, 2025
When you find yourself comparing your life or business to someone else’s…
Think of it like looking at a painting. A snapshot. A moment in time.
Really stop and look at that painting, and ask yourself: What is it that I’m actually craving?
I can guarantee you, it’s not the whole thing.
You don’t want every detail - their entire setup, their team, their lifestyle.
Because you can’t really see the big picture.
Instead, take a look at the painting again, and focus on the details.
Find that one little section that evokes a feeling - because this is where the secret lies.
And the trap is thinking you need to recreate the entire painting to feel that.
You don’t.
It’s time to remember.
The moment you remember that what you’re drawn to in someone else is just a mirror for what’s trying to rise in you - you’re already back in abundance.
You don’t need to steal their painting.
You don’t need to mimic their brushstrokes.
You just need to honor the feeling that moved through you… and let that shape your next creation.
Abundance doesn’t ask you to grow faster.
It asks you to receive deeper.
And comparison? That’s just a forgetting.
A momentary lapse in trust that what’s meant for you already knows the way.
I still do it unconsciously sometimes.
But now I catch myself in the act faster and chuckle at myself.
And I return to my own canvas.
