Winning victory against yourself

No one likes to lose. The thrill of victory after competition is hard

to match. But the wins that leave the most significant, long-term

impressions are the ones where you win against yourself. Beating a

friend in a game of hoops is much less meaningful than setting a

personal best time while running. We live in a highly competitive

world, and everything around us screams that we've got to be number

one in order to feel successful. Truly though, the best measuring

sticks are your past and your potential--not against someone else's

standards. Raise the bar for yourself!
