We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit - Aristotle
Do not ever contend with others, who you happened to be a week back, yesterday, or maybe even a minute ago. Don't struggle with yourself in this moment. No, battle with your potential. Struggle with the ghost of the soul you could become. Because if you enter into the arena looking to take on that, you may become far larger than anything you might have ever dreamed about.
Every day, bring your capability to play the game to the table. You may not wake up feeling great, you just might be struck by adversity 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 playing with with the individual you know you could become.
Who is that potential person?
That's only an answer that you can actually give yourself. But what I can tell you is that your potential is simply a bit better than you at everything in life. They run faster than you, they work harder than you, they lift more, they speak to more men or women, they make a room burst with laugher and anything else you can imagine. The thing is you shouldn't be threatened by this. Sure, you will never essentially reach those times where you outshine your potential in competition. That's not the point. The point is seeing what you are actually 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 really is possible for yourself. That, more than anything, is worth its weight in all the jewels around the world.
So dream a little and see what you are capable of.
It could absolutely change your life.
