"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." - Aristotle
Forget competing with other people. You are far far better than that.
Maybe you're asking, "Should I compete with myself?" No, don't do that either. You're still better than that.
You deserve a greater breed of competition.
Compete with your potential.
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.
You could become something great if you tried this out.
So make a deacons to come to the table every single day with your best shot at life. Of course there are going to be times where you wake up feeling muggy, but you have to pick yourself up and get out into the game of life because you are up against an opponent who is feeling good all of the time. Your potential is already 5 steps ahead of you.
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.
But that's the point...you are capable of it.
You're never going to be able to grab your full potential, but that's the point of all of this. You're never going to be perfect, but you may achieve excellence if you at least chase that perfection. Knowing this makes the entire journey worthwhile and will bring out the best in you.
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 what is your potential?
Become someone amazing.
