The Wrong Obsession

The most expensive car.

The latest smartphone.

A fancy neighborhood.

More online followers.

The coolest school for kids.

This ‘getting ahead’ mindset is a real mess. A 24x7 struggle. In this mindset, first-class isn’t better simply because of the seats or meals… It’s better because it’s not economy. Want proof? Several airlines have tried to launch all-first-class seating, and all of them have failed.

Life is somewhere beyond the realm of competition and comparison. It’s possible to live with dignity, compassion and be successful at the same time.

Getting ahead needs competition. Doing better is self-sufficient.

Aim at doing better.
