This quote really hit home. "When you're in a state of comparison (which we all know comparisons are the thief of happiness). But When you're in a state of comparison, you don't have a broken mind, you have a broken heart".

When I was ready to dive back into the dating world many years ago, there was one problem: for the first time in my life, I didn’t have extra money for dates. And it hit me hard—I had tied my self-worth to my wallet. Somewhere along the way, I believed girls only liked me for my money, and maybe that’s why I was attracting the wrong kind of attention. So, I got real. Vulnerable, even. After some flirty chats and plans for dates, I’d nervously drop lines like, “Hey, can we pay separately?” or “I’d love to go out, but rent wiped me out—let’s plan for a couple of weeks later.” I’d make up stories to avoid saying I was broke. I braced myself for rejection. But you know what? 90% of the time, they’d say, “My treat!” or “I didn’t expect you to pay on the first date anyway.” It felt weird. Awkward, even. I’d always paid. But during those dates, I realized something huge: I had way more to offer than just picking up the tab. I could offer laughter, great company, genuine care, knowledge, and a memorable experience. Money wasn’t my only value. When I finally did have money again, I saw certain “types” of girls differently—because my worth wasn’t tied to what I could spend on them anymore. Guys, your value is more than your money. Dig deep. What else do you bring to the table? If you think money is the only thing you offer, think again. This could be why relationships fail or fall apart. Even the rich and famous aren’t immune, just ask Tom Brady 😅. Remember, knowing your worth changes everything.
