Does it feel like sometimes life is a competition? We want to be the first to graduate, first to be a success in our career, first to get married, first to have kids. Then, we will probably repeat this cycle with the next generation as well.
What makes us so competitive? Why don’t we live our life according to our own timeline, to our own standards? Why do we feel like we have to win something by being first?
It’s difficult to accept sometimes that we are right where we are supposed to be. The reason we haven’t reached a certain milestone in our lives is because we weren’t meant to be there quite yet.
I honestly believe that everything has a reason and sometimes, we can’t see that reason until later. Hindsight is definitely a lot clearer than the present.
Everything around us dictates competition. We are in a world that teaches us that we have to go against each other so that we can be number one in something. Why can’t we be satisfied in achieving what we want to achieve and then being at peace with that?
It’s okay not to be the best (at least what the world considers the best). It’s okay to be happy with yourself as you are. It’s okay to know what you look to achieve in life and once you have reached that goal, it’s good to be satisfied with what you have achieved.
Be happy with where you are in life. It’s definitely more fun than always being competitive.
Who We Are Today 
This is very true. We shouldn’t be so caught up in how we are doing compared to everyone else. But it can easily be that way when you’re on facebook and you’re seeing on your news feed of how this person has a new job or this person has a new fiance, so on and so forth. You have to be content with your own path and the pace you’re taking towards your goals as long as you don’t become stagnant with them.
