Hey kids!
You will see it everywhere. People solely devoted to being the best at, well, whatever. Be it sports, academics, business ventures, you name it, a vast majority of your peers and neighbors will be bent on "making somebody" of themselves, spending sometimes insane amounts of time and effort toward this end.
While the pursuit of excellence isn't a bad thing, perfectionism is actually idolatry. We should work hard to get better at things that are important to us, because that glorifies God. But when those efforts start impeding our relationships with God and others, it's best to consider changing things up. Only you will really know if this is the case, although you may receive feedback from others that I would advise you to ruminate over. Sometimes others can see things we might be blinded to. However, sometimes others are simply jealous at ones accomplishments and are only trying to bring you down. Gotta be able to discern the difference!
Proverbs 11:14: "...In the multitude of counselors there is safety"
Have fun, aim high and glorify God with your efforts!
Love you!
Dad
