Competition is very good, yes! You read right. Many people have come to define competition as as toxic situation and which is not so. Competition cam be toxic or healthy. Am healthy competition is the one you learn from,the one that improves you. An healthy competition will be a motivation to focus on one's personal growth and not obsession over winning. A one that you gain valuable insight from, that improves you,one that makes you develop new skills ,that's makes you better.
It is not just about coming first but about making sure you win,even when you did not come First. Healthy competition is the one that will never scare you rather it sharpens you ,grow you. It is the one that will make you strive to be better.
The world needs competition,it is part of the characteristics of living things, because that is what makes life interesting. The labour market needs competition to strive better, to try making and producing more better products for it's users, imagining no competition, ideas will die, there won't be new innovations anymore , "no one can do what I can"so, each person will do as dey like, not wanting to think forward. The world will not grow, it will not move.
An unhealthy competition is that competition that scares you , that's threaten with your mental health, a competition even though you win ,you are not a winner when you know the competition was not a fair one. When you are burn out just to show off temporarily that you won,it is an unhealthy competition. A competition that ask for your peace, one who drain you is an unhealthy competition.
Avoid unhealthy competition by all means,it is just like a virus ,they are toxic to the body. It can affect you mentally , physically and financially. Your body will be burned out, stress will overwhelm you, it's takes away your energy, your peace,your strength,it will distrust your mind,it will drain you energy and diet be unfulfilling. The sky is wide enough for every one to fly.
Do not compromise your mental health for temporary wins ,our mental health matters alot. Once your Peace is the price, then it's no longer worth it . Your mind,your energy your peace should be protected before competition. What works for everybody is different, strive to be better not solely relying on defeating.
Remember your mental health matters a lot .
