Who is your competition?
BTTY Bit No. 7
From Me
The competition is in the mirror, not out the window.

There is more than enough. Enough for you, me, and that lady down the block with the double stripped lawn. You can spend your days worrying how you stack up fertilizer lady, or you can focus on the little things that make you better than you were yesterday.
Want to get in better shape? Don’t download the latest app or drop a 1990’s car payment on yoga pants. Get up tomorrow morning drink a glass of water and stretch for one minute. Just one minute. And then start your day. Most of the world didn’t show up at all, but you did. Do it again the next day. Build on that.
If someone insists on comparing, just tell them they win.
From Someone Else
"Annoyingly, we seem to learn deepest and fastest when we’re in the discomfort of conscious incompetence."
(Michael Bungay Stanier, How to Begin)
I’m incompetent at most things and so are you. The next time you want to ask a question, consider that by asking you are helping someone who doens’t have the courage to admit their incompetence. Your leadership will help them for the rest of their life. Now that’s a ripple worth sending.

I found this new pen that I love. Don’t let the caligraphy label scare you away, I use it for my everyday - the Fudenosuke by Tombow. Also, it’s hard for me to not like something that has a dragonfly logo.
Take care,
“You Win” is a term my friends and I still use ~ whenever having fun disagreements...or to tease whenever someone gets a new phone/car/shoes, etc 😂
I needed this simple reminder that the competition is only in the mirror and to be kind to myself more...you are doing well! 🙏🏻
Thank you!
Right on KV! Exactly what we spoke about yesterday!
