Caution against Comparisons: Don’t worry about being better than somebody else, but never cease trying to be the best YOU can be. You have control over that, not the other.
Free from judgement of outsiders. Focus on ceaseless effort in bringing forth your own potential. No performance alone, place in a race, or finishing time can tell you whether or not you have succeeded in achieving this. Only you can judge your success by the peace of mind in knowing you’ve given your personal best.
Strive to accomplish the very best that you are capable of. Nothing less than your best effort will suffice. You may fool others, but you can never fool yourself. Self-satisfaction will come from the knowledge that you left no stone unturned in an effort to accomplish everything possible under the circumstances.
Make today YOUR masterpiece, taking what you have a creating with it.
