This guy is probably very fast.
Odds are, I can’t match his speed on the ice.
This girl is probably very fast.
Odds are, I can’t match her speed on the mountain bike trail.
And odds are, the top guy probably can’t ice skate on a mountain bike trail as fast as she can ride, and she probably can’t ride as fast on the ice as this guy can skate.
The point is this:
THEY ARE GREAT AT THEIR RACES, BUT PROBABLY NOT AMAZING AT EACH OTHER’S.
You are the only person that is uniquely suited to running your race/your life.
And yet, you probably compare yourself to others all the time.
Today, focus on running YOUR race to the best of YOUR ability, and forget about what anyone else is doing.
And when you do find yourself comparing, just picture a guy in roller-skates trying to take 1st place in the 200 meter backstroke in the pool… and realize that’s what you’re doing 😉
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
