Embrace the Bigger Picture
To achieve the life you envision, you must recognise that you are the change that will make it possible.
All the competition you perceive only exists in your head.
The filters through which you view your world will determine where your focus goes. If you view the world as a dangerous and scary place, filled with people who are out to get you, this is the world you will “work against”.
When you believe in your dreams, goals, and yourself, you view the world from a perspective of inspiration. Even when you find obstacles along your path, you will be motivated by the opportunities to find solutions. Your competition will stimulate your imagination and will provide you with an advantage - lessons already learned do not have to be repeated.
Confident people know their strengths and weaknesses. They are motivated to gain the necessary skills and knowledge and are not intimidated by the success of others, but rather are inspired to improve on it. When you fear competition, you think and live small. When you embrace competition, you grow and become innovative.
It all starts with you. Are you ready for your success or do you fear it?
Always remember to be kind to yourself.

Anger is one of the most destructive forces we possess as humans.
When we lose touch with who we truly are, we often fall into the habit of micromanaging, trying to control each detail.
Escaping from a narcissist is the first step. Sometimes, however, we cannot escape and need to find ways to survive.
We often hold on to routines, thoughts, and behaviors - even if they’re uncomfortable - because they feel like part of who we are.
Real growth isn’t about outshining others - it’s about outgrowing the limits we’ve set for ourselves.
