Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better.

com·pe·ti·tion /ˌkɒm pɪˈtɪʃ ən/ noun 

-the act of competing; rivalry for supremacy, a prize, etc. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/competition

A five year old could give you a definition for competition. It is everywhere. In your work place, in your educational institution, even in your home.

Growing up with two brothers that were a little over two years apart, I can tell you about all kinds of fights and arguments. They were over who ran faster, who had more likes on a Facebook status, who got the girl. I've broke up more fist fights than most bouncers, and guaranteed the aftermath was a lot more serious that a ticket (have you ever gotten a punishment from Momma T?)

Now in college it is more evident. Everyone wants to be the prettiest, the smartest and the loudest. They want the girl or the boy. They want to drink the most, stay out the latest yet score the highest, and learn the most.

Huh...

Yes you see competition takes the reality out of most people's small little brains. There are far more important things than being "the best." Even if you think you're "the best," you're not. Because you know what? I am the best. I am the best dang Katie you will ever meet. But besides hypothetically, what point is being this "best" you want to be? If you ever stop being "the best" are people still going to like you? It's far better to be "your best."

So here's my food for thought today, stop worrying about what everyone thinks (except to the girl I saw wearing tights with a shirt far too short to cover her butt today, that is not okay, and you should ask what people think), and be "your best."
