COMMUNITY

​There is healthy competition: that which spurs people on to do their best and strive for success. There is also unhealthy competition: that which requires one person to become less so that the other can become more; that which feeds envy and rejoices in the failures of others.

Jealous competition leaves us feeling empty and unsatisfied. Community, however, does the exact opposite. Community encourages each other toward greatness. Community builds and supports each individual's unique gifts and traits. Community is where individuals can be themselves without the fear of judgment. Community is something to strive for because life is better spent in community than in competition.
