It's not about winning

when you’re not exactly losing anything.

Dear Authentic Introvert,

I was never competitive, but I did survive motivational speeches from my parents and teachers to beat the competition and top the class.

I was rebellious, which fueled my tendency not to see my classmates as opponents despite the efforts.

And I still don’t see my peers as a competition.

The thing is –

You have a unique set of skills and combined with your personality, you become an unmatchable package.

Just because somebody else is living the life you want doesn’t mean you should copy their skills and personality.

You’d never be the same.

And when you’re not even on the same journey as others, I don’t see the point in competing.

However, learning and being inspired by talented people in your niche does make sense.

It is, in fact, a healthy practice because it offers alternative approaches.

The problem with the aspiration to win is you’re focusing solely on the person you’re trying to beat.

All you want is to be better at what they do.

And you lose your creativity and uniqueness in the process.

How’s it winning if you lose your personality?

Instead of the winning mindset, adopt a learn and grow approach.

It keeps you creative without the pressure of being better at mimicking somebody.

Can’t lose – can’t win,
