Letting go, again

... letting go of your need to read this blog. Only kidding. I mean, I knew it had been a while since I updated, but I didn't realize it had been that long. My apologies!

Today's topic is:

Let go of your need to be superior.

You really don't need to be "the best there is" in any given endeavor. In fact, if you keep at it long enough, you'll find someone who is better at it than you are. And that's okay. Once you let go of your need to be superior, you can accept the fact that there are people who are better at things, and that's okay.

You don't need to be better than anyone else, you only need to be better than you were. The point of this post and this point of view is NOT to tell you to be satisfied with mediocrity - after all, someone's going to be better than you anyway - not at all. The point is to give up the comparisons between you and someone else.

Constant self-improvement is the goal. One of the cool things here is that once you let go of your need to be better than others, and you start focusing on being better than you were yesterday, you'll find you'll be a lot better than a lot of people at a lot of things... but you won't care. :)
