Stop competing with other people. It doesn't matter if they are better than you. It doesn't matter if you look weak, if you will just focus on your work and focus on giving your best then you will be alright. Competing with other people will put a huge pressure on your shoulders. It will make you work harder than what you can do, it is alright to work hard but if you are doing it for other people then you're on the wrong path my friend. Work hard for yourself, compete with yourself, that's the best thing to do to achieve greatness in your life.
If you are competing then you will always care about your reputation, you will always care about being great, you will always care about what people will say.
Greatness should be natural, you should not look outside of you to achieve it. Look inside of yourself, feel happy working hard and giving your best, push yourself to the limits and beat your record yesterday.
If you're not competing then there will be less pressure on your side, you will not look at other people anymore and always check how they are doing. Competing against other people is useless, it will make you suffer for nothing, it will take away your peace of mind.
Greatness is hard to achieve, it is possible but if you're comparing yourself to others then it means you're not focused, it means other people are part of your journey, they are distracting you. You should own your journey, you should not be thinking about other people.
Just give your best and never compete against anyone, stay natural, just be yourself and push yourself a little bit, go farther as much as you can. Push harder, work longer and never get jealous with other people who are getting better results.
The truth is... you are you're own competition, you need to beat yourself and control yourself, you need to discipline yourself and do what is best for your life, you don't need to think about anyone else, just focus on your own life and be the best version of yourself.
Ignore the idea that you need to become better than anyone else around you, ignore that idea, that is only a form of insecurity, it means you need for approval, it means you need to feel good if you're ahead which is a mindset of a person who is lacking self confidence.
You will be the judge if you are great or not, if you know that you are pushing yourself everyday and you can honestly say to yourself that you really work hard and give everything you've got then you're already great, you don't need to seek for approval nor ask for appreciation. Appreciate yourself and the efforts that you put in.
So stop competing now and simply give your best everyday, you can do more and be more if you will focus on your own journey and stop investigating other people's works.
