Many of us have that competitive spirit, the will to not
give up until we have accomplished a goal or try to beat another person or
group of people. Why do we become so competitive that it overshadows our way of
being a good sport? I’m not saying competition can’t be positive, it is but to
a degree. We compete to be the very best over something else (mainly sports)
and beat our rival or over run a team.
You don’t
always see the smallest sides to competition and most of the time they don’t
always matter at all but on the other hand, competing against something else
that truly matters and not always competing just for the sake of competing. We
all find something that we want to beat or just make a note of it whether it’s
in business, sports, culture, exercise or whatever and we want to find that
edge that trample over what we have to overcome.
In m
opinion, you can find fun in competition. It’s not always trying to over rule
your opposing man and finding a way to hurt them whether physically or mentally
that’s not fun at all. I understand that it sucks when you lose but also it’s
not always pleasant being a winner. Learn to value that you fought through it
and still came out alive. I get it that there are certain things at stake but
you made those odds or you got caught in the cross fires and now have to deal
with certain modalities. Having fun with certain forms of competition can give
you a sense of no matter what the outcome you’ll either learn a valuable lesson
or you use strategy on how to be better and not so much bitch about it and make
it the end of the world.
When it
comes down to it, there’s one competitor that you have to deal with no matter
where you go, who you’re with or whatever happens in your life from the time
you’re born to the day you die, it’s YOU!!! That very same person you look at
in the mirror is your ultimate competition and how you handle it is up to you.
You cannot compete with anyone else because everyone else is temporary but you’re
still there.
I know what
it’s like to fight myself and beat myself up in my own mind and there’s no such
thing as a perfect record. To this day, yes I have issues but I’m not going to
let that part of me take over what I truly want in my life because if you let
your personal issues, demons whatever you want to call them get in the way of
what you desire and what you want to accomplish, than you haven’t learned how to face them and make them your personal bitch. We all have issues and problems
no matter what but that doesn't define us unless we choose to make it.
Learn to
love who you are, have fun with what you have, become what you desire and giving
you a reason to keep living with vigor, vitality and great health. You are more
than you ever think you can be and there’s no reason why you can’t be truly
happy and climb that ladder of success because you have the power to do so. Be
strong, be happy and use that competitive spirit to overcome the very things
that try to tackle you down.
