Hello m31. Everyone hopefully has goals and I think that is healthy. If you are competing against someone in sport that is fine as that is natural. Everyone likes to win otherwise what is the point. You don't train to just lose but to win. In life if you are competing against a family member for example then it is not healthy as jealousies will arise somewhere along the line. I have seen it first hand and think it's quite pathetic. The competition was over their houses and they kept renovating to out do each other.
Hello to you too @cryptoandcoffee! I appreciate you taking your time to comment :)
It seems sometimes we are pushed and forced jumping hoops and taught compete against each other not just in sports and keep forgetting that creating those legendary masters is always a team effort. Doesn't matter who they are, there are people who influence and shape them, help them to reach their heights. It is selfish to think one can pull it off all by themselves.
