Have you ever caught yourself looking at someone else’s life and wishing you could have it? Whether it’s their wealth, their relationships, their travel adventures, or any other aspect of their life, it’s easy to feel envious of what they have and wonder why your life can’t be more like theirs. 

But why? Why is it that we all want a life like someone else’s?

There are a few reasons why people want a life like others. 

To start, we all have an innate need for belonging and connection. When we see someone else living the life we desire, it makes us feel like we belong to something. We want to feel that we are part of something larger than ourselves. We want to be accepted and admired by others. By striving for life like someone else’s, we can feel a part of something bigger than ourselves.

Another reason for wanting a life like someone else’s is because it gives us a sense of purpose. We all want our lives to have meaning and when we look at someone else’s life, we feel inspired. We might see them achieving their goals and it motivates us to do the same. We want to make an impact in the world and having a life like someone else’s can help us do just that.

Finally, some of us want a life like others because it gives us something to strive for. We want to reach our goals and having a life like someone else’s gives us something to aspire to. We can learn from their successes and failures and use them to help us reach our own goals.

The truth is, we all want to feel like we’re living our best lives. There’s something innately human about wanting to make sure that we squeeze the most out of our days – and sometimes, looking at the lives of others can help us do that.

It’s easy to compare ourselves to others and even easier to feel like we’re not doing enough. We constantly see other people’s successes broadcasted on social media and it can be hard to push away the thought that we’re not doing enough. But it’s important to remember that life is not a competition and comparing ourselves to others won’t get us to where we want to be.

Instead, it’s better to take inspiration from the lives of others and use it to motivate ourselves to make positive changes in our own lives. Taking inspiration from others can help us reflect on what it is we want to achieve and make plans to get there.

Look at the people whose lives you envy and think about what it is that they’ve done to get where they are. 

• What have they had to sacrifice to make their dreams a reality? 
• What have they done to reach their goals? 
• What have they learned along the way? 

Taking the time to really consider these questions can help you better understand what it takes to live your best life and make a plan to achieve it.

Ultimately, it’s important to remember that everybody’s journey is different and that it’s ok to take a different route to get to where you want to be. So the next time you feel the urge to compare yourself to others, take a step back and use it as an opportunity to reflect on what it is that you want to achieve in life. With the right attitude and a bit of motivation, you can start to make positive changes in your life and make your dreams a reality.
