On Enemies #It'sOn

We have all heard the expression that you are your own worst enemy. Today, I intuited a new variation on that theme from a TED talk I watched on infinite games by Simon Sindek.

You are your own competition, rival, adversary and standard bearer.

As soon as you catch yourself comparing yourself to others or in mid-judgement, as you do (otherwise someone issue a quick sainthood over here), immediately look down and behold yourself. That should always be the focus and drive for your success, your own betterment, your excellence. Not how you measure up against other people.

The only reason, in my book, to look at other people is for admiration and then inspiration. Other people show you through their actions and achievement what is possible. Then turn inward and continue your journey, young padwan. One day, if you're lucky, you can be that hero for others.
