“The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves”

-Anonymous Author

I think what this means is that sometimes we form an obsession with being the alpha and coming out on top. Although it is seen as pretty healthy, too much focus on outdoing our peers can mess with our head and lead to disastrous results if we do not get the opportunity. It’s a much healthier mindset to believe we can improve and increase our value and self-worth. If I choose to improve my running time, get a better grade, and improve my writing I will feel more empowered to do so than to be better than my peers. I wish well upon them and myself so I choose to be positive about my own improvements.
