I used to be really competitive.
Then I started to compete with myself only and trying to be better than tomorrow me who I know is going to work their ass off today.
Then I realized I actually don't love to compete.
I stopped thinking about competition really and started thinking about the best ways I can invest in myself. Cool advanced stuff I personally want to do and know.
Now I'm motivated because I want to build something in the real world that'll help everybody else and that means learning what it takes to get there - which has a nice side-effect of growing my knowledge and accomplishments. Been on that wave for awhile now and literally zero burn out because it's motivating af knowing I get to help people by utilizing STEM and tech. I'll say this straight up, I finish more now than I ever have and it feels effortless to get started on what I got to do. I'm just internally motivated by something bigger than personal competition. If I see somebody working on something that aligns with where I want to go but don't know how to do, I'll either ask them how I can learn what they're doing and if they're looking to collaborate rather than compete with them like the old me would.

My competitive nature makes me a little crazy... It's a good thing if used correctly, it gives me an insane amount of motivation and drive but at the same thing, y'all don't wanna see Darth Neo in the cut

But real-talk, going so hard was how I almost killed myself a couple weeks ago. I work a couple of jobs and I was going so hard for like a 3 week period, working weekends and everything, no days off, and one night I was coming home at 4 AM and started falling asleep at the wheel. I'm thankful to God that He sent that deer out in front of me cause hitting the deer is what woke me up. If I didn't hit that deer, I would have been wrapped around a tree cause I was dead sleep with my foot on the gas.
