It’s easy to get sidetracked by the idea of winning. We’re often taught from a young age that the better we do, the more we’ll succeed.
It’s a natural instinct to want to be the best at what you do— it feels good when you’re working hard and succeeding.
But there’s a problem with this attitude: it can blind you from seeing that success isn’t just about being better than everyone else; rather, it’s about making your life work for you.
So whether or not you win is less important than whether or not you’re happy with yourself and where you’re headed—and sometimes that means letting go of expectations and putting yourself first.
Regardless of your career goals, you want to stand up for yourself, take risks, and remember that success isn’t just measured by how much money or fame you have.
Instead, it means finding fulfillment in your job, in your relationships with others, and in your life as a whole.
