Your Greatest Competition
by Evan Sanders
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit - Aristotle
Don't ever vie with others, who you used to be a week ago, yesterday, or perhaps a minute ago. Don't compete with yourself in this moment. No, battle with your potential. Vie with the ghost of the person you just might become. Because if you enter into the arena looking to compete with that, you will become far bigger than anything you may have ever dreamed about.
Every day, bring your ability to play the game to the table. You may not wake up feeling great, you could 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 contesting with the person you know you could become.
Who is that potential person?
That is only an answer that you can actually give yourself. But what I will tell you is that your potential is simply a little bit better than you at everything in life. They run a lot faster than you, they work harder than you, they lift more, they talk to more men or women, they make a room burst with laugher and anything else you are able to imagine. The thing is you shouldn't be discouraged by this. Sure, you'll never actually reach those points 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 conjure up and battle with your potential, you can see the future of what is possible for yourself. That, more than anything, is worth its weight in all the fine jewels worldwide.
So dream a little and see what you can do.
It might totally change your life.
