"The best people are like water. Water nurtures all things and never is in competition with them."
I want to be someone who nurtures others, and who becomes my best self without worrying about what someone else' best is. When I feel like I am in competition with someone, it is harder for me to be happy about the things they accomplish. If I compare my skills to the skills of others, there is a danger that I will get discouraged and quit trying, or that I will look down on someone for not doing as well as me. When I feel I am competing, I have a tendency to be grumpy when the other person improves! We are all here to help each other. We are here to cheer for each other, and support each other in becoming our best selves. When we focus more on nurturing, and less on competing, we are the "best people"!
