This is so true on many levels of human endeavor. Competition is not destructive but absolutely necessary for real growth. Without it we remain linear and stagnant, which in reality means we deteriorate and die.
Read this blog post to get a pretty accurate perspective on the value of competition:
I challenge you to find your external motivator that will push you beyond you self-imposed, debilitating limitations. This is a universal requirement for anyone to reach their true full potential.
It could be your friends, training partners or a carefully chosen coach.
Don't neglect this important aspect of your training.
Be Well.

Thanks for sharing that, Jeff! I completely agree that competition can be very healthy and necessary.
