• Competition - Are you running scared?

  Currently Watching Flavor of Love - The Complete First Season By Brigitte Nielsen see related

  Yesterday, it dawned on me, "Why am I so competitive?" I was talking to a good friend of mine, and we were discussing running track. How she loved to run track, it was even one of her favorite things to do, but she admitted she wasn't a competitive person. That she wouldn't be upset whatsoever if she lost, or even if she didn't run track. She expressed how much she loved to run, not for the competition, but for the passion of it and how she feels while running. It's like none other for her, no matter what the situation is - running fixes her problems, with every step.

  I too love to run, however, dancing is more of my passion (hip-hop). I love everything about it, including it's hardcore competitiveness. I feel like when I'm on that floor, it's my time to shine. The crowd is watching me and nobody else. The world is mine. I like perfection on the dance floor, and I feel like I have to express that each and everytime. I step up my game everytime I get on that floor, and it's totally worth it.

  However, in no way am I a sore loser. If I lose, and this is to anything (not just dancing), I congratulate the winner(s) and go on with my day. I don't beat myself up about losing, I only try to do better the next chance I get. Which may sound surprising to you, or even to the people who semi-know me. I say "semi" for the people who know exactly who I am, talk to me every now and then, but don't see me all he time - the real me. The person who's inside, that only my close friends seem to know, other than my family.

  How competitive are you? Are you a sore loser or a perfect winner?
