They never realize every-: thing they've dreamed of is already on the inside of them, they just have to work at it. You should avoid comparing yourself to another person. Here are the "four Cs" can be detrimental to your growth.

The act of examining resemblances or similarities; an examination of two or more objects with the view of discovering the resemblances or differences; relative estimate. COMPETITION Striving to out-do another for acknowledgment, a prize, supremacy, profit; engage in a contest. Competition stems from insecurities about who you are or what you've achieved. If you feel insufficient in an area, often, you'll begin competing to prove a point to yourself. If you're in this situation, earnestly pray for help for you and your spouse.

Ask God to help you both become whole and secure. Also realize Ephesians 6 in the Bible says we don't actually war against each other, but against spiritual forces. God is on your side and wants you to win at life. We really aren't competing against others around us, we should be competing against our best selves.
