Naval Ravikant: How to Escape Competition

Welcome to Make Daily! This email contains an idea, reflection, and a simple action you can take on your work today.

Idea 💡

"Escape competition through authenticity. No one can compete with you on being you." — Naval Ravikant

Reflection 🤔

Humans love playing status games.

If a peer gets a new house, car, or job you will instantly begin comparing yourself to them to see where you stack up.

This primal reaction is one of self-doubt. You've forgotten what makes you unique, valuable, or worthy - so you look at others to validate (or invalidate) who you are.

But when you zoom out, no one can beat you at being you. We escape competition by opting out of the game.

Action ✅

Where are you letting status or competition bring you down? Drop it today.
