"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." - Aristotle
Don't compete with others. Ever. You have more going for you than to do that.
Don't compete with yourself. You're still better than that.
No you deserve a different breed of competition.
Try competing with what you are capable of.
There is great magic in competing with your potential. When you decide to compete with your potential, you will be challenged, knocked down, and forced to grow in ways that you never thought you could have before. It truly is one of the greatest adventures you will ever go on.
When you do this, you could grow into someone incredibly special.
Every single day, bring your desire to play in the game of life to the table. You may not wake up feeling great, you could be struck by adversity and land flat on your back, but make the decision to stand back up, wipe the dust out of your eyes and get back to competing with the individual you know you may become.
What is that potential person?
In all honesty, you are the only person on this planet that actually knows the answer to that question. However, to give you an idea, your potential is the version of you that acts with heavy amounts of integrity and is constantly chasing their dreams. That person is always giving their best effort and never quits no matter how bad the situation gets.
Chase this person like you were a crazy man chasing happiness.
The thing is you shouldn't be intimidated by this. Sure, you will never basically reach those moments where you outshine your potential in competition. It's not really about that. Instead, it's about growing into an individual that is constantly improving upon themselves and growing.
In order to become the best version of yourself you are going to have to be willing to go up against a competitor that you can never defeat. Be proud of this. Because instead of winning, you will grow. That, more than anything, is worth its weight in diamonds.
So dream a little and see what you are capable of.
Become something great.
