Abandon Excessive Competition: Embracing Self-Focus and Personal Growth

"Comparison is the thief of joy." - Theodore Roosevelt

"The only competition worthy of a wise person is the one with oneself." - Washington Allston

"Focus on your own journey, not the competition. The only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday." - Unknown

Excessive competitiveness can frequently result in feelings of inadequacy, stress, and loss of personal delight. Instead of continuously comparing ourselves to others and seeking to outdo them, we should turn our attention inward. We can create progress on our own terms by devoting our attention toward self-improvement and personal growth. Accepting self-focus enables us to develop our unique abilities, pursue our passions, and become the best version of ourselves. It turns our perspective away from external validation and toward personal motivation and fulfillment.
