Competing With Yourself, It’s Your Life

It’s easy to compare yourself against other people especially when you are flooded with beautiful and supposedly successful on-line media people.

But that comparison is a fraud, it’s not based on any kind of reality.

When you compete against other people, you judge yourself based on their values, not yours.

Sadly, many people actually believe being popular on social media is important, so to them, emulating others makes them important. 

It’s kind of like being rich in Monopoly, it isn’t real.

Life is a competition, but not against anyone else. 

Rather, the real competition is only against yourself and unrealized potential. 

When you compete with yourself, you won’t be lured into other people’s competition and their values. Instead, you will only evaluate yourself based on what's important to you.

You set the rules, no one else.

Here’s Abney Park: “It’s Your Life”

Lyrics

My love

My life

My band

My wife

I get lost

I get used

Take the praise

And abuse

Am I the hero in my own daydream?

Am I the villain, are things as they seem?

Am I the villain in my own daydream?

Am I the hero, are things as they seem?

My love

My life

My band

My wife

I get lost

I get used

Take the praise

And abuse

My band

My life

My love

My wife

I get lost

I get used

Take the praise

And abuse

My love

My life

My band

My wife

I get lost

I get used

Take the praise

And abuse
