I'd be interested to see what kind of responses this post gets, especially from the more seasoned of fastlaners.
As I progress in my endeavors in the Fastlane there are a lot of people who want to emulate my success and are inspired by it. I want to help these people out but I also feel emotions of fear that I wouldn't want to raise competition around me. I try to combat these negative feelings, because they do seep into other aspects of my life.
I don't want to see people (even the ones I care about) succeed at a higher level than me... I know this is an unhealthy mindset. I have severe compare-myself-to-others-itis and not for much a good reason in my opinion. I am not necessarily happy in this mindset but it still has a huge grip on me.
Fastlaners are competitive & hard-working individuals, focused on success. I just wanted to poll the community on whether this mindset is wrong, right, healthy, unhealthy, etc etc. It does keep me driven, but it's a negative kind of mindset in some ways. Let me get your opinion on it.
