"Yes, there are times when the gold medal only goes to the winner. But not in the race of life, where the winners are those who are superior not to others but to their former selves."
~ Robert Cooper, 21st century optimal living expert from The Other 90%: How to Unlock Your Vast Untapped Potential for Leadership & Life
Don’t compete.
Excel.
Are you superior to yesterday’s former version of yourself?

Let’s keep the momentum. :)

More love on excelling:
"To excel means to reach beyond the best you have ever given because doing so matters to you personally, for its own sake. It means to run your own race—as an individual, team, or organization. To excel is to know your greatest strengths and passions, and to emphasize them while honestly admitting and managing your weaknesses." ~ Robert Cooper
“Independent of others and in concert with others, your main task in life is to do what you can best do and become what you can potentially be.” ~ Erich Fromm
