The pressure to be "the best"

When we perform our daily roles, both professionally and personally, we propose that we always have to be the best no matter what. 

This belief is the daily life of many people who live with the illusion that their lives consist of having to be the best at what they consider important. But reality puts us all in our place , bringing to light our limitations, and our difficulties, in light of circumstances that are constantly changing over which we have no control.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony
