Your only competition is yourself.

Your only competition is yourself.

I used to think that success meant giving my all so someone else would see my greatness and offer me more. I used to think that I had to compete against my colleagues to show who was more dedicated, loyal, and capable for a promotion. The moment I realized that success meant honoring and fueling my passions and what will serve as my catalyst to greater things was the moment I stopped caring about comparing or competing with anyone else.

I used to think that getting healthy meant having no rolls or muffin tops or any other delicious dessert reference personified in the added weight that made me uncomfortable or ashamed of who I saw in the mirror. The moment I realized that getting healthy meant honoring and fueling the vessel that will serve as my catalyst to greater things was the moment I stopped caring about comparing or competing with anyone else. 

The only person holding me back from becoming more successful or healthy, was me.

YOUR ONLY COMPETITION IS YOURSELF.

In the words of the very wise master of American Rap, Vanilla Ice taught us, "STOP! Collaborate and listen!" Whatever fear, excuses, negative thoughts, or other BS you've been allowing to consume your mind and control your actions - STOP❌🚫❌

You are capable of more. You are made for more. You are worthy OF MORE. Get out of your own DARN way and SLAY THIS FREAKING DAY!

What misconceptions of "being successful" or "being healthy" have you had? What fears or excuses have held you back from making better choices for yourself?
