There is No Competition

Don’t use anyone’s success against yourself. Be inspired by it, be motivated by it, but don’t take it as an evidence that they’re better or more capable than you.

There’s no competition because success is not limited to a selected few.
 
You are not competing with anyone, so let go of the idea that anyone else is better or more capable or smarter than you.
 
Don’t use your mental energy and creativity on collecting evidence against yourself, because the more you’re looking around and focusing on what everyone else is doing, you’re taking the time away from focusing on you.
 
Everyone has a different starting point, different obstacles, different opportunities, and gifts.
 
You are meant to do it your way!
