Comparison is one of the fastest ways to lose joy — and most of us don’t even realize it’s happening.

In this Monday Motivation, DJ shares a simple holiday moment that turns into a deeper conversation about how comparison creeps into our homes, our faith, and our sense of worth. Whether it’s social media, careers, family rhythms, or spiritual growth, comparison quietly convinces us that we’re behind — even when God hasn’t said that at all.

Jesus addressed this directly.

After the resurrection, Peter looked at someone else’s path and asked, “What about him?”

Jesus’ response was clear and personal: “What is that to you? You follow Me.” (John 21:22)

That one sentence shuts down comparison at the root.

This video will help you:

Recognize how comparison steals joy and peace

Understand why different circumstances don’t mean something is missing

See how social media highlights distort reality

Refocus your life on faithfulness, not sameness

Find contentment in the path God has actually given you

Your life doesn’t need to look like someone else’s to be meaningful.

Your path doesn’t need permission to be valid.

And your calling is not measured against another person’s highlight reel.
