Healthy competition is cool but some people take competition too far. Have you ever realized you were in competition with someone long after THEY started competing with you when you were instead focused on how you could be your personal best at what you do? Sadly, many today deal with self-esteem and self-confidence issues that spill over to others leaving a trail of division and resentment behind. Check your circles and find the healthiest environment for yourself you can get. You deserve it. Don't let jealous folks ruin the good that is planned for your life. Self-awareness is key and knowing when to shift to protect yourself in these cases matters.
