Note To Self: You v. You

For when you feel like you’re falling behind:

Everyone is running their own race. It’s useless to get sidetracked with what others are doing when their journey is not yours. There is no competition. YOU are your biggest competition.

You get in the way of your own success when you distract yourself with timelines. Fuck the outside noise. This race is all mental – your mindset can delay your blessings, or bring you closer to them. Don’t focus on what you haven’t achieved, don’t have, or have yet to figure out, the lack mentality will have you comparing your successes to others for validation. And what does that achieve?

You mentally win when you remember that someone else’s success does not impede your own. Continue to be genuinely happy for others when they’re joyful and winning. Stay in your own lane and clap for others when it’s their time. We are all running different races, what works for one will not work for all.

Since this is YOUR race, only YOU can win it. And you’ll always win because you move with love and your heart and intentions are pure. You don’t see competition because there is no competition. When your eyes are set on your own track, there’s no room for distractions. You can’t lose a race that’s meant for just you. You know you can’t miss what’s meant to be yours. Keep going.

Note to self – There is no competition. It will always be You v. You.
