Being fueled by competition is a shallow form of drive compared to necessity, the real mother of invention.
If you’re focused on beating the competition, then you’ve lost touch with the primordial creative force — the bar should be set by your standards, not others.
Competition shouldn’t shape your craft, your real needs should.
Comparison can be the thief of creativity.
