The Self-Improvement Superpower You Can Give to Yourself
It’s yours for the taking (because too many others have abdicated their responsibility to be GREAT)
“Think about it: Most people don’t even show up. Of the people who do, most don’t really push themselves. So to show up and be disciplined about daily improvement? You are the rarest of the rare.”
-Ryan Holiday, Discipline is Destiny
It’s so easy to set yourself apart from the crowd today.
As they say, it’s never crowded along the extra mile, and most people just won’t do the work that you’re willing to do in order to get ahead.
Not even to get ahead — simply to give yourself the mental freedom to do what’s best for you and to take your life back.
A life spent comparing yourself to others isn’t much of a life, but competition can be good for you.
For example, it’s fun and exciting to match your best against others’ bests and see how far you can go, and how much you can achieve.
Measuring yourself against others who are at least slightly ahead of you, in the context of pushing yourself to be as great as you can be, is something I’d recommend to pretty much everyone. You need that measuring stick in front of you to see what’s possible.
