Life is not competition.
Yes, I said it. As a society, we are way too enthralled with how our experiences compare to others and why the life we are living is greater than the person's next to us.
At the end of the day, why does it matter? If we are living a life that makes us feel content and happy, we should not compete with our friends, family members or even strangers on the street. It's not about the designer clothes you are wearing or the amount of Instagram likes you received on your last post. It really does not matter.
When life ends, as sad as it is, we take away the experiences and memories we had and cherish them. We leave behind the purses, our Instagram accounts and the 30 pairs of shoes in our closet. Suddenly, we don't care what Susie has or how much John made last year after taxes. It's all unimportant at that point and always should have been.
Instead of worrying about how we compare to others, we should compete with ourselves. If you are trying to lose weight, think about the weight you personally need to lose and don't compare yourself to your family friend who models. Once you start to get into your own head and constantly are negative towards others, you will only tear yourself down throughout the process.
So, at the end of the day, what should we genuinely compete for against others?
Nothing and yes, I said it.
