Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Early in my career I observed a couple of guys who were both working hard to climb to the top of the corporate ladder. Over time, one of the two became a ruthless competitor. He would do anything to reach his goals.
Although these two were best friends, they eventually found themselves vying for one key position. The ruthless one lied, gossiped about his friend, and undercut him every chance he could, until he eventually received the coveted position.
That ruthless competitor has led a very troubled life, while his friend has thrived.
Proverbs 3:29 teaches, “Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.”
A better long-term strategy is to compete by being the best you can, not by tearing down the person next to you.
