Be the Best You

It’s easy to be tempted to go through life competing with everyone around us.

When we see someone who’s more talented, better looking or has more talent, instead of running our race and being comfortable with who we are, oftentimes we feel inferior and think, “I’ve got to catch up to them.” The problem with this unhealthy competition is that it’s a never-ending cycle. There will always be someone ahead of us. But, it’s a very freeing thing when you realize, “I’m not competing with you. I don’t have to have as big a house as my neighbor to feel good about myself. I don’t have to keep up with people at school or work. I don’t have to be a certain size. No, I understand that I’m not in competition with my friend, my neighbor or my family. Instead, I’m going to be the best me that I can possibly be.”  Stop focusing on the outcome and keep working your process. Be who you were created to be and you will find your inner peace, happiness and joy. Are you being your best today?
