I don?t really care who is doing better than me.

But why should I care?

I know that the person that is doing better than me is not my problem, rather I am my own problem.

Afterall, I am not in competition with anybody else.

The only person that I am in competition with is the person that I was yesterday.

The above is my mindset. That is my word view.

The above is also applicable to you.

The person that is doing better than you is not your problem.

You are your own problem because you are not in competition with anyone else but yourself.

In short the world is you verses you.

Lionel Messi said thus, ?I challenge myself to be the best that I can be and never to be better than anyone else.?

When Iron Mike Tyson was asked by journalists why he wakes up by 4am to run, his reply was: ?I don?t wake up by 4am to run. I run by 4am when my opponent is sleeping and gathering weight. If I hear that my opponent has started running by 4am, I will start running by 2am and if I hear that my opponent has started running by 2am, I will stop sleeping.?

Late basketball legend Kobe Bryant said that he started working by 4am so that before others woke up, he had gone far ahead.

Those are people who believe that they are the architects of their lives and that their lives would be what they make it.

They believe that their success is in their own hands and on the other hand, their failures are also in their own hands.

They don?t see others as the reason why they are not doing well, because they know that they are not in competition with anyone else.

So, to excel in today?s world, the only single challenge to adopt is to convince yourself that you are not in competition with anyone else but yourself, your yesterday.

You have to convince yourself that if somebody is doing better than you, the person is not your problem, rather you are your own problem.

You have to convince yourself that the world is you verses you and not you verses anyone else.

I know that many of you know this poem-

I believe in myself

I believe in myself

I am like no one else.

If they can see me for themselves

I am a star that shines so brightly

That is who I am

I am the best.

I am here to make a different.

So, that is the belief and also the challenge.

First of all believe in yourself that you are the best.

You can never achieve what you don?t believe in because everything begins from belief.

Then begin to challenge yourself by learning and improving.

Every day wake up and be ready to push yourself further, adopting the philosophy of.

?I will do better today than I did yesterday?.

Always try to challenge your limits, striving to be the best version of yourself.

You must not let someone else success make you feel small.

Their journey is theirs and yours is yours.

When you take up this single challenge, one day and very soon, you would look back to see every step, every struggle, every victory was yours and yours alone, your growth, your journey, that is your legacy.
