In the last fight scene of the movie ‘Sultan’, he mentions about his three learnings, from which the third one was, “Tumhe tab tak koi nai hara sakta jab tak ki tum khud se na haar jao” (Nobody can defeat you till the time you get defeated by yourself).A flower never thinks of competing with the flower next it.  It just blooms.Competition is everywhere.  Whenever we think or talk about competition, it is always between two or more people.  But we never think or talk about competition with ourselves.  Well, the truth is that your only real competition is yourself.When you focus on competing with others, you are actually getting driven by their goals and are focusing only on that thing.  But when you compete with yourself, you are still competing with others but more importantly you are going much further.  It helps to stop you from comparing yourself to others, it keeps you focused on your goals and gives your priorities the complete attention it deserves.If you can be the best version of who you are and focus only on being better today than you were yesterday, then who you are competing against doesn’t matter at all.  You just need to ensure that you improve daily in whatever you do, be it your business, your job, learning new skills, studying or anything and everything else.  You need to be committed for that.  This way you can be the best and can compete with anyone and everyone around. “To be a champion, compete; to be a great champion, compete with the best; but to be the greatest champion, compete with yourself.” ― Matshona DhliwayoSo be your own best competition.
