Yesterday, something we hear a lot and might quote but I don’t believe we really embrace it set with me for awhile. The words, “you’re not in competition with anyone else but yourself, the old you and who you are becoming” so don’t waste your time entertaining those thoughts 💭, remarks, and comments that makes you believe you are competing with someone else. I believe social media, TV, music, and other factors have channeled our energy, thoughts, and emotions to the mentality towards we are in competition with others. Be the best you can be and stop trying to be better than someone else or like someone else. You may have similar skill sets and experience, but each of you were placed here to be the best version of yourself, to thrive to your full potential, to fulfill your individual purpose, and reach destiny. Remind yourself of that everyday. I was at a light when I smiled with this thought 💭 I was never in competition with those around me, I was supposed to be being better than my previous years. Learning from the past experiences, growing with maturity, and becoming my best. I too fall guilty to this mindset from the trend. Now I’m reminded to set my soul free with the confident in being the very best I can be. So how does this help and what freedom of our souls do we get? Well, for starters, you will no longer look at your peers, coworkers, friends, family or anyone as competitors but you will be a helping hand to them so that they can become the best selves. Secondly, your thoughts that were overwhelming you from this comparison mentality can be dumped and thrown away. So this puts you in a position to reverse the mentality that has set you up to compete with others. You are encouraged to give your very best, become the best you, and thrive into your full potential.
