Have you ever been in a situation where you notice that your friend, colleague, family member, or acquaintance is competing with you even though you never got the memo that there was a full on competition in place? I have experienced this quite a few times in my life! There were even times when I engaged in the competition as well! What I have learned is that it is too EXHAUSTING to compete with others!! I have said in a previous audio recording that I prefer to compete with MYSELF!! I love this quote because if we do not engage or feed into the competitive nature of the other party there essentially is no competition! Now do not get me wrong, I recognize that there are times in life where having a competitive nature may be necessary. Some examples of this may be when it comes to landing the job, training as an athlete, the process to getting into college, competing on "The Voice", etc. I guess I am more so referring to competitive natures when it comes to how we interact and relate with one another in relationships and friendships. I think that it all boils down to the state of our self esteem. I strongly believe that when we are truly happy with ourselves we will be able to congratulate the next person on their successes and wins in life! As I always say, we all have our own blessings with our names carved on them!! What is meant for you is designed for only you! No need to compete for the love, attention, affection, or accolades that are meant for someone else!
