Monk Mindset: There are two causes of unhealthy competition, being envious of someone or uncontrolled ambition. We compete with people who have the same skills or outlook in life as us. When another person’s skills have no bearing on our life, we rarely feel threatened. Competition is found in all spheres of life. Some examples include sports, business, politics and the workplace. Healthy competition is about competing with ourselves rather than others to become a better version of ourselves. There will always be workplace politics but we should learn how to manage it in a clean way.
