Whenever you feel the need or get the urge to compete with anybody in life, take a second to think of this first, you can compete in games, sports, school, and even at work but never about who has the best life because life did not give you all equal opportunities, life is unfair, you can only compete against yourself to be a better person than you were, because only you know your strength and weakness and only you know the resources you have to run this life race.

Even people/siblings who were born in the same house by the same parents, attended the same schools and grew up in the same environment, and have equal opportunities in life don't always turn out with the same outcome, so competing with people you don't know their stories or where and how they came about, or what they have been through or going through in life is foolishness.

What if it was an inheritance or maybe they got it through dubious means? "Thou shall not covet" because it leads you to nothing but greed and lack of contentment for what you have and that will land you in deep trouble. The question is not whether you know how to swim, the question is; CAN YOU SWIM WITH THE SHARKS!?

Do what you know how to do best and just be consistent, diligent, persistent, determined, and be steadfast, and committed to it, make sure you keep your head above water and make sure the naysayers and shallow-minded people don't dissuade you or deter you from what you are doing, it is okay to seek for advice from like-minded people but never from people who will tell you it is impossible, do this and watch yourself evolve into a force to reckon with that is worth emulating, take a chance and make a change.
