Some women love competition. It is sad that the only thing that seems to keep these women going is engaging in unhealthy competition with other women.
Some women compete with other women over having relationships. You see them trying to belittle other women who are not in relationships yet or make it look as if these women are incomplete without having men in their lives.
Another set of women who live for unhealthy competition are those who engage in marriage competition. They act as if getting married is the ultimate achievement in a woman’s life.
These women are quick to throw insults at single ladies and thank God for giving them husbands. It doesn’t matter if these men are wicked, heartless, irresponsible and disrespectful. They are married and other women are not and that makes them high.
Some women also use having children as competition. They are quick to tell others that they had four children in four years and boast about how blessed they are compared to others who have one or are still struggling to even get pregnant.
Some women compete with their siblings over trivial issues. They are quick to compare their successes and financial strength to that of their siblings. They don’t care if they hurting others, they just want to feel powerful and superior.
There are also some women who engage in unhealthy competition with people they meet online. They see these other women, how they live their lives and the things they acquire and they start scheming on how to live like the women they met online.
Why do you have to compete with another person over their own lives? We’re you born on the same day or do you have the same vision, destiny and purpose on earth?
Do you know the secret battles these people you are competing against are fighting? Do you know the sacrifices they havemade to get to where they are?
Do you even know what they do behind closed doors that they don’t want you to know about? Do you know if they are living a lie?
Why don’t you focus on yourself, your life and dreams and seek ways to live a well rounded life instead of stressing yourself by engaging in unhealthy competitions with other women?
Why should you compete with things you don’t have control over? Why should you berate another woman for being single, for not being married and for not having children?
Why should you make yourself feel superior because you want to show another woman that you arrived? Why all the unnecessary negative attitude and behaviour? It’s uncalled for.
Change for the better. Life is not a competition. It is a journey of self discovery. It is an individual journey and we are all different.
