If you feel stuck in life when compared to others.. then this short story is for you
When will I dance better than others?
A young boy learning the traditional Kathak dance was regularly missing his steps and stumbling during practice. Frustrated, he came to his teacher and asked, “When will I be able to dance finely like your other students? When will I be able to keep up with the beats and perform every move with grace?”
The teacher replied, “When you stop looking at your fellow students during the practice, remember, you are not in competition with them. You are in competition with yourself.”
Debrief
Your goal is to simply be better than what you were yesterday, not better than your peers. Whether in dancing, playing a sport, in business or anything in life, this ideology instills self excellence.
The only time you should look to other's performance is to get inspired and to improve yourself and not to get jealous.
