Afri-InLeo Initiative ->>I Am My Own Competition💪💪
Hello everyone, I welcome you all to my blog and to my post.
I guess the title of my post says it all, "Seeking to be better than others always makes you bitter at every stage of their progress but seeking to be better than your old self is power, growth and wisdom".
This is applicable in all areas of our life, our businesses or careers, leaderships or in schools at the gym or wherever it may be, the best we can do to yourself is to aim towards becoming a better version of yourself than you are yesterday. When you hold on to this mindset you will get to position that competing with others might not even take you to.
It's best to focus on yourself so that while you make progress, you excel even beyond your adversaries without even knowing. One good thing about these progress is that you'll get to enjoy every step of your growth with sound mind and happiness, you can only be sad when you continue blaming yourself for not doing better than others but when you can simply identify the little growth and achievement you're making in the process, no body can steal the grin and smiles on your face.
I simply apply this principle to every aspect of my life, I am trusting the process while enjoying the process, I know I will be better if I keep pushing on so why should I get bitter about someones progress when I know I will surely get there when I work and focus on my own self.
Music can be competitive at times but the need to remain focused on your personal growth is the key. I have been building myself starting from my mind to discipline my whole body to get what I want. I involve series of exercises to make myself better, I practiced allot than I want to showcase outside, I believe that when the time is right I won't need anyone's permission to get to the top.
Sometimes the process is difficult to handle, I understand that feeling of fear and rejection specially when someone around you, your peers, or colleagues do better than you do in a certain activity. For me that is not time to compete with them, sometimes I pay attention to their techniques and even learn from them, that's wisdom!
This brings me to my learning of the bass guitar, when I am given an opportunity to play with people that are more skilled than me, I play with my whole heart, without fear of whether someone is better than me or maybe I will be laughed at, I play to the very best of my ability and when it's their turn to play, I listened to them with all level of seriousness and learn. This has help me to avoid envy and jealousness.
I believe everybody will get there it's just the matter of time and discipline. I am happy you come this far with my post, I hope you've achieved something, thank you for reading and stay positive!
