In this culture of comparison, individuals often measure their worth against others, which can skew their perception of success and happiness. The speaker underscores that this external judgment can distort self-worth and obstruct personal growth.

This introspective approach fosters resilience and self-approval, which is essential in a world that can often feel judgmental and harsh.
