Why I Stopped Competing With People and Started Competing With Myself

Hello Hive Learners Family!!!
Without much Ado let's begin it 👇:
Life is full of competition. We are making struggle to compete others and go forward in every area of life. It ignite passion, determination and growth. But it can turn over friends into rivalries and blur the line between motivation and obsession.

Components of Healthy Competition:
______________________________________
Healthy competition is a powerful force. It exist when we celebrate other wins and while working for our own growth. We learn from others struggle and take their success as fuel not fire. Wherever we are either in school, workplace or Hive we avoid feelings envoy on others win. We should be inspired by the winner around us. It allows us to see how far we have come and how much further progress we can make.

My Personal Story :

______________________________________
I was an average student and I am afraid of being beaten by my family if I fail in exams. I used to study for hours and practice lessons silently and my results surprised my parents and as well as teachers. It was unbelievable that an average student with C grade score highest marks in the college and the expected topper was on the second position.
Miss Maham (my classmate who was brilliant student and expected to score highest marks but she was standing second after me) didn't accepted my win. She was rude and frustrated towards me at first but later on she invited me to join his friends group because I was the alone and introvert in the first year at college. She had some mood swings issues but had been kind to me. I learn a lot of things from her. Everything changed in final exams once again and we begin to compete each other than supporting and celebrating our growth. It impacted our coordination as classmates and friends later on. I realized the need of balance in healthy competition. Untill the competition was healthy, we were inspired, determined and passionate.

Final Thoughts :
______________________________________
Like sugar turning bitter, competition gets toxic when it starts feeding the ego rather than the spirit. We need to be focused on our personal goals and celebrate other wins. Your competition is with yourself not with someone else. We shouldn't measure our success with trophies or medal but the growth. We should always be grateful to Almighty Allah for everything we achieve than being focused towards someone's else.
Happy New Week Everyone ☘️

The way you ended this blog was very nice
Like sugar can get bitter so can competition get toxic
I have seen this in football and other sport.
The best way to compete is to set a goal and compete with ourselves. We can use others who are above us as a standard for growth also; it’s not a bad thing

STOPVanity is always present, especially since we are human, and here in Hive, there is much of that, those who are successful is because they are surrounded by powerful people, because in them you bet my head that they have achieved a lot. It is a sadness, but it is a reality that I see every day here, in my 8 years that I have been in Hive.
The competition is healthy when it is done for fun, the rest becomes toxic in my opinion.
I love this...
And of a truth, what fuels growth is healthy competition toxic ones does no good..So I would advise we all celebrate each other genuinely, as we would be also celebrated soon too.
thanks for sharing.
