Recently as a family we have been doing push-ups, chin-ups and sit-ups. It is not uncommon whilst doing them to hear one of our children say something like, “I beat them at…”. Competition can be fun, but I remind my children that our main goal is improvement; it’s about us becoming better not about beating others. If our motivation to become better is to become a beater then I think we’re not living in harmony with the teachings of Jesus Christ and His gospel.
