Competition can be damaging

Evolution has hard-wired us to be competitive. Our species won the evolutionary game partly because we competed effectively.

Company teams battle over insignificant games, as if their lives depend on it. That’s fine, as it fosters team bonding. But truth be told, not all competition is useful. Some of it is downright harmful.

In many other arenas, unnecessary competitiveness can derail lives.

People stretch themselves to buy things they can’t afford, overwork, until their health breaks down, or constantly switch investments to beat peers. It’s like burning fuel, to win the 20 km leg of a 1,000 km journey.

There is no universal finish line in final destination. Each person must choose their destination and feel content getting there.

That means defining goals, understanding available resources, and adjusting the plan accordingly. And pick a reachable destination judging your potency.

If the road is rough, and fuel is limited, pick a reachable destination and feel content getting there.

Yet many drive flat out in such environment, hoping speed alone will get them somewhere worthwhile.

The old proverb applies: if you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. Although, time may vary.

Unnecessary competition shifts our focus from our destination to imagined races.

Unnecessary Completion, can turn a fulfilling long-term journey, into a relentless sprint, that leaves us tired, anxious, and unsure of what we were chasing in the first place.

The good news? 

Awareness is half the battle. More people are waking up to the toll unnecessary competitiveness takes – on wealth, health, and peace of mind.
