Life should not be a competition with anybody the only competition you should have is against yourself, what you need to do is to set your own goals and aim at achieving them, the biggest mistake most people make in their life is, they look at other peoples achievements to set their target in life, God made us all differently, you have to show the attitude of gratitude to God for what you have, then work and pray for what you aspire to attain in life.
The only thing that gives you the sense of unfulfillment in life is when you look at what other people have and start wishing you had the type of life they have, instead of thanking God for what you have, there are always better people than other people in some aspects of life, because when you finally have that thing your neighbor has, you will start wishing that you have another thing that another person else has, so you will always be empty because, in life, there are always people that will have somethings you don’t have.
Let us learn to appreciate what we have first, then work and pray to God for what we want/need, covetousness is a sin, and it leads to jealousy, anger, and hatred, God gave us all different ideas and strength for different works, so comparing yourself to anybody will always be a burden to you and it leads you to do things that you are not supposed to do because you compete with someone who probably does not even know that you exist, stop fighting enemies that do not exist, because the only enemy you think you have here, is you.
May God help us to always be contented with what he gave us and focus on what we need more, instead of what we want, amen.
