Thoughts of the Week: August 25, 2023

You are your own competition.

No one is ever “stealing your success,” you’ve got to go and grab it - pursue it.

Look at others not as competition or people “taking what’s yours,” but as people like you - they’re going after their own things too: They are people with ambitions, motivation, and the work ethic to get them there. That’s fine.

Instead of fighting against or comparing yourself to others, make *yourself* your sole competitor and the focus of your work. Work to constantly raise your personal best, and encourage those around you to do the same.

You create your own success. You can find a way.

Be looking inward & forward, not at others.

If you want to show the world what you can do, start by showing yourself.
