This morning i was strolling and I noticed a person about 1/2 a kilometer ahead.
I could tell he was working a little slower than me and I thought, good, I wish i could catch him.
I had about a mile before I needed to turn off. So I started working faster and faster faster.
I was gaining on him just a little bit. After just a few minutes I was only about 30 meters behind him, so I really picked up the pace and pushed myself.
You would have thought I was running a race in but i was just determine to catch him.
At last , I did it! I caught and passed him. On the inside, I felt so great. "I beat him" Of course, he didn't even notice we are on a working race.
I focus on meeting him and even pass him which i did with determination.
Is that not what happens in life when we focus and determine of achievement and going aheld of our co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important?
Spending our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our God-given destinies.
There will always be somebody ahead of you, someone with a better job, nicer car, more money in the bank, more education, a prettier wife, a more handsome husband, better behaved children, etc.
In realizing that "we can be the best that you can be, when you are not competing with anyone."
Take what God has given you, the height, weight and personality. Dress well and wear it proudly.
Stay focused and live a healthy life.
Run your own race and wish others well.
Thanks for stopping by

Of course that is right. Never compete against others. Compete against your self.
