Our society has gotten so competitive that people stress themselves out all the time worrying that other people might be doing better than they are. And whether we’re talking about work, school, sports, or anything else, there’s usually another person who is doing something better. After all, the world is a very big place and it’s not reasonable to expect perfection in everything we do.

It’s much healthier to take a step back from the competitive frenzy and remind ourselves that it’s not really about who wins or loses on a particular day—rather, making simple little changes for the better in everyday life will add up to much more as time passes.
