I understand what you're saying. I guess to some degree, I try to deny my own competitiveness in favor of a more collective mindset. I think your competitve drive can be good as long as you are not competing with others and are focusing on the competition within yourself. While you say many others want to do the same things as I, I still know my perspective is totally unique. Even here on Steemit we see a model of intrapersonal competition and interpersonal support. But I do agree with I think the gist of what you are saying, I just know it is most wise to stick to your personal best and focus not so much on comparing yourself with others. That is just in my personal experience. Your post is super motivating considering what I am going through in my life (we can chat more privately if you're interested in knowing more or want to run anything motivational you have to offer by me). Mind checking out one of my posts? I would really appreciate your perspective specifically on how I might better compete with other initiatives falling under a similar scope. Thanks for sharing! Keep up the wonderful work!
