"You will make a lousy anybody else, but you are the best you in existence. You are the only one who can use your ability. It's an awesome responsibility"- Zig Ziglar
We are all created equal, but we don't have the same abilities and the same destinies. Life is not meant to be a competition, or a competition between two or more people. That is folly and waste of time.
If you must compete, strive to compete only with yourself. Don't buy things simply because others are buying it. If you look at what others have and what you lack; you will constantly live under stress and pressure. Measuring up with others cannot make you who you are.
We have many miserable "successful" people, who live their lives acquiring what they don't need, in order to impress people they don't like. At the end of the day, they reach goals they did not plan for. Steve Farar said,
"Comparison is an enemy of contentment"
No wonder The Holy Bible declares it openly that,
"Godliness with contentment is great gain"
It is expensive to live a life that is not your own. It costs untold pain and misery. More so, it makes people deviate from their purpose in life.
Strive rather to be the best that you can be, by occupying yourself with the most important things that will help you grow and take you to your destiny.
