Winning
The price of winning is high. The problem with winning is that it takes a variety of effort. Some people “have it” and some people don’t. What do they have exactly? Natural talent… luck maybe?
It can be disheartening watching those around you seemingly win with ease. Sometimes you aren’t seeing all the hard work they did and sometimes they did zero work and end up looking like a shiny penny.
Most of the problem is our short sided comparison. Your thin definition of winning is not the whole picture.
It’s worth remembering you are running your own race. A race designed to make you a better person with just the right amount of suffering and breakthroughs.
So take heart, stop comparing, work your butt off, and mind your own bobber.
