Competing with yourself

During our lives we encounter many people. We work with them, socialise with them we see random people everyday whilst out shopping or commuting. One thing we do with all of these people is compare ourselves to them and their success. We ask ourselves, do I earn more money than them? Is she better looking than me? Have they got a bigger house than me?

We constantly beat ourselves up over whether somebody else is doing better than we are or whether our lives would be better if we had their lives. Is this really healthy? I would say not. By comparing ourselves to countless other people in the world we often neglect to analyse our true competitor, OURSELVES!

The only person we truly compete with in our lives is ourselves. We are the only person that is really limiting our potential, our success and our chance of having that dream life. The more time we waste comparing ourselves to other people the less time we have to spend tackling our true competitor. So STOP now! Forget the person that lives next door to you with the bigger conservatory and the newer car, forget the couple who drive past you everyday at the bus stop in their brand new BMW, think about you and how to compete with yourself and your own limiting beliefs.
