This episode is all about becoming the best version of yourself you can be without getting caught up in trying to be the best amongst others.

When it comes to success in any pursuit, we like to scope out the competition and see what we are up against. And from there, create a game plan and a strategy to become "The" best. In this process, if you are not careful, you can lose your sense of self and miss out on the personal satisfaction from becoming your best. It happens a lot where there's an endeavour like a sport with a competitive element to it. And that competitive atmosphere can be really exciting to engage in. To see how well you stack up with others, however, when you start living so competitively, you compare yourself to others and use it to measure how successful you are. This doesn't just occur in sports or recreations but in life overall. 

If you base your success on the typical societal model you may get a boost of comfort and security but you may likely be unfilled. Success is rather quite individual to the person. And when you identify your personal model of success and what it means to you, you can live the way you choose without subordinating to others. You can stay in your lane and be confident with the direction you are going.

After all, it is not about becoming 'The' best, but about becoming 'Your' best, and with that, you may just end up better than the rest even if it wasn't your intention!
