I know it’s easy to feel like it’s you against the world.
Your authentic self has no competition.
It only becomes one when youre competing for an identity that is not your own.

Flora Westbrook
You no longer envy what they have, you no longer desire what theyve done.
Thats because youre no longer trying to build a life thats not your own.
The problem isnt that you think someone else is more attractive than you.

The problem isnt that you think someone else has accomplished more than you.
The problem isnt that you think someone else has the relationship you so deeply desire.
You rise by lifting yourself.
You rise by caring enough about your future to invest in right now.
Youre never going to arrive at good enough when youre trying to be who youre not.
Other people are not the competition.
