Stop comparing yourself to others

When your goal is to be better than your competition, as opposed to just focusing on being the best version of yourself, you are limiting yourself. Your threshold has now become whatever your competition is plus one. You need only to clear their hurdle and you win. But who knows how much more you can do?

Don’t focus on what those around you are doing. Stick to your processes (and realize that they’re never a finished product, so look for ways to improve them). Look towards becoming the best version of yourself to maximize your potential.
