Midlife Mantra: The Competition

Today, I tell myself that I will strive to do better . . . to be better . . . to think clearer . . . to make better decisions. You see, there’s this phenomenal woman who is doing wonderful things in her life. She wasn’t always this way, but now she’s a woman on fire.

I see the way she moves about. She’s comfortable in her skin, she commands her space in the world, and when she wants a seat at the table, she pulls out the chair and takes it.

I hold no shame in admitting that, I want to be like her — this phenomenal woman — only better. Yes, I compete with her, because running a race with her in it makes me push myself harder.

This phenomenal woman is ME . . . and I’m the only one I need to be in competition with.

    A quote I’ve been trying to repeat to myself a lot lately has been “Comparison steals your joy.” It’s really so true that we all have to only compete with ourselves. Thanks for the reminder, Valerie.
