if you compare yourself to the scoreboard you are taking concentration away.
Very well said. It is vital to understand that to succeed you need to focus on yourself. Make you your biggest competition. You will always do what is best for you, that's how we can succeed in what we are doing. Focusing on yourself and not being bothered by others is crucial. Everybody's story is different, everybody's situation is different. I will never have the same leverage someone else has because of this very reason.
The biggest epiphany I ever had was that "success is subjective", just like life. The definition of success is different for everyone.
Dan, I wholeheartedly enjoyed this post. Thank you!
