“Be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete.” – Lao Tzu

My Thoughts:

As I like to say if you compare than you are going to lose. There is always something better than something and that’s just the way it is. Just like food, if you love cake, you will always find one cake better than another and so on. Let’s think of cookies, you sure will find one cookie better than another. Which is why life is like a box of chocolates, one is yummier than another.

Only You

Don’t try to copy someone else, everyone has their own unique personality. If you try to copy someone’s personality, it’s like you are trying to be that person. Instead, create your own unique personality and pass that on to the people. This way you may find that there is something greater in you than you thought.

Compete

Life is not a boxing tournament, and you don’t have to compete. There is no competition necessary for anything in life, except for being who you are. If you want to compete, then compete with yourself. Look at where you are in life, now work harder to be at a better place. Plan your life in ways that will help you to get to the next level. Look at yourself as your competition and don’t copy another person. You are who you are for a reason.

Throw away the Cigarettes 

If you have bad habits like smoking. Then compare yourself with good habits and put down the bad habits. As I say, create yourself your own competition and you will win. Challenge yourself to eat only healthy foods and put down all chemical made foods.

At the end of the day, you don’t need to find the gold at the end of the rainbow because you are the Gold.
