We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit - Aristotle
Don't ever compete with others, who you used to be a week ago, yesterday, or even a minute ago. Don't contend with yourself in this moment. No, compete with your potential. Vie with the ghost of the individual you just might become. Because if you enter into the arena looking to compete with that, you may become far larger than anything you may have ever dreamed of.
Each day, bring your capacity to choose to the table. You may not wake up feeling great, you may be struck by difficulty and land flat on your back, but make the choice to stand back up, wipe the dust out of your eyes and get back to playing with with the individual you know you could become.
Who is that potential person?
That is only an answer that you can truly give yourself. But what I am able to tell you is that your potential is simply a bit better than you at everything in life. They run a lot faster than you, they work harder than you, they lift more, they speak to more girls or guys, they make a room burst with laugher and anything else you can imagine. The thing is you shouldn't be discouraged by this. Sure, you will never actually reach those times where you surpass your potential in competition. That's not the point. The point is seeing what you are truly capable of and then growing into that person.
If you can imagine and battle with your potential, it's possible to see the future of what's possible for yourself. That, more than anything, is worth its weight in all the jewels worldwide.
So dream a little and see what you are able to do.
It may positively change your life.
