I read this from the president of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta and I felt it was worth sharing. 

If applied, we can all be much more productive in our areas of endeavour. "I was jogging this morning and I noticed a person about 1/2 a kilometre ahead. 

I could tell he was running a little slower than me and I thought, good, I shall try to catch him.

I had about a kilometre before I needed to turn off. So I started running faster and faster. Every block, I was gaining on him just a little bit. After just a few minutes I was only about 100 metres behind him, so I really picked up the pace and pushed myself. You would have thought I was running in the last leg of an Olympic competition. I was determined to catch him. Finally, I did it! I caught and passed him. On the inside I felt so good."I beat him" Of course, he didn't even know we were racing.

After I passed him, I realised I had been so focused on competing against him that I had missed my turn. I had gone nearly six blocks past my turn and I had to turn and go back". Friend, Isn't that what happens in life when we focus on competing with co-workers, neighbours, friends, family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important? 

We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our God given destinies. The problem with unhealthy competition is that its a never ending cycle.

There will always be somebody ahead of you, someone with a better job, nicer car, more money in the bank, more education, a prettier wife, a more handsome husband, better behaved children, etc.
But realize that "Youv can be the best that you can be, you are not competing with any one." Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to what others are , where others are going, wearing and driving.

Take what God has given you, the height, weight and personality. Dress well and wear it proudly, you'll be blessed by it. 

Stay focused and live a healthy life. There is no competition in Destiny.
