In life, there’s a powerful truth that we must always remember: what everyone else is doing is not connected to you. Your journey is unique, and comparing yourself to others only slows you down.
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”
-Maya Angelou
Every minute you spend thinking about their achievements or watching their progress is a minute wasted. It’s a minute where the gap between them and you widens. Instead, invest that time and energy in yourself. Self-development is key in your progress into the future.
Focus on your own path, your own dreams, and your own goals. Execute your game plan with passion and determination. When you put your all into your drive, amazing things can happen.
Most of the frustrations we encounter in life stem from our inability to stay focused on our own path. We get sidetracked by the success and progress of others, and this derails our own growth.
“Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses.
-Roy T. Bennett
Focus on your character, not your reputation.
Focus on your blessings, not your misfortunes.”
So, it’s time to stop wasting your precious time and energy on what everyone else is doing. Run your race, pursue your vision, and become the best version of yourself. Your unique journey is where your true potential lies. Remember that. Exemplify that every day!
I leave you today with this excerpt from the Book- Basic Instructions Before leaving Earth. (Bible)…
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” -Philippians 4:8
