Sometimes we need to find someone to help us to stay motivated , it sounds a little bit weird since we all know that competiton is always bad ,but it's not as long as we believe in ourselves and in our abilities .
You know , what you really need the most is someone to compete with (it can be yourself ) Yes ....
In fact , many people get motivated and accomplish what they want by competition .
The other person should not be always successful or in a betteer situation , but he can be just like you but he's trying harder and harder to get better . In addition to this , that person doesnt need to know that you're competing with him.
Another thing to add is that , People are confused about competition and comparison . Comparison can be used in a negative way , like being jealous of others , what they are or what they possess instead of focusing on yourselves.
Competition and comparison sould be used to get better ,for example consider the other person as an inspiration to achieve what you want maybe to be like them or better , it depends on you and on your ambitions in life.
So , focus on progress , on making small improvements over time and you will always see the results of your efforts just by competing with others and as I've already mentioned the other person can be yourself which is the best person you can compete with .
