Meditation for the day I do not compete with anybody, and neither should you. Here are the reasons why. You can’t take what was meant for me, and I don't want what was meant for you. You can’t have what's mine, and I don't want what's yours. All I want is to be better today than I was yesterday and to be better tomorrow than I was today. If you continuously compete with others, you're going to get bitter, but if you compete with yourself, you're going to get better.
