Competition

The double-edged sword that it is.

I was reminded of it due to the change in time of the year, wherein neighbors compete with each other for show.

Many use competition as a means to compare themselves to others negatively.

Competition should be used as an inspiration, and for self reflection. Even today, someone was talking about how there is always someone better than you, and better than those who are better than you.

All we can do is know that it is not enough to stay in our place, but rather we must grow stronger. There is never and end to learning if we but keep moving forward in our journey.

Thus, competition should be a ray of hope for all, and inspire us to make ourselves better. Not to beat those that beat us, but rather to beat ourselves. If everyday we wake and know that we can do just one thing better, then we should do our best to do at least one thing better that day.
