Rich and John are neighbors and coworkers. They both start work @ 7a.m. The bus ride to work takes half an hour and it is usually packed. Getting a seat means you need to be at the bus stop at 6a.m. Rich is up early everyday. He wakes up at 5a.m., eats breakfast and leaves his house before 6a.m. in order to be first at the bus stop. His reward for his troubles would be a seat on the packed bus. John on the other hand doesn’t like to rush anything. He leaves his house at 6:21a.m., grabs breakfast on the way out and doesn’t stress how he is going to get on the bus, he just knows that he is. Instead of going to the bus stop that Rich is at, he walks 3 blocks down to the bus stop before the one he is at. John is the last on his line and Rich is the first on his line. John gets the last seat on the bus and Rich has to wait for the next bus because there is no room.
The point of my analogy is that being first can still result in a failure. Instead of rushing into things, step back and view the situation at hand from a different perspective. If you can’t live your life with a smile on your face then you’re trying to hard. Life shouldn’t be stressful. Just play your cards right
