The Greatest Challenge (and victory) is Beyond Us vs. Them

I love a good competition. Believe it or not, I actually really enjoy watching the UFC.

But I also enjoy a life that is free of the Us vs. Them mentality. 

Going back to martial arts for a moment . . . there is a principle in the finer aspects of martial arts that when you try to counteract a force with force, you waste energy and set yourself up for defeat by counter-attack.

When we find ourselves pushing back in Us vs. Them competition whether it be Men vs. Women, Ford vs. Chevy, or even the U.S. vs. another Country we set ourselves up for stagnation at best and a knock-out punch at worst.

Competition really helps us to grow when we see it as the hurdle we need to learn to surmount, rather than a barrier to beat down.

If you're going to compete with anyone, compete with yourself.
