The will to do anything comes from within yourself
You define your goals you map out the journey
In my mind comparing yourself to your competitors or anyone else
Should never contribute to how you define yourself?
But it should be used [as] is a tool to drive improvement to push yourself to make the most of every little
opportunity that comes your way I
heard a quote from Mark Cuban
And he said to work like someone is working 24 hours a day to take it all away from you
and I was giving this some thought [obviously] [it's] a powerful message and
I started to apply it to my own [situation] and the first thing that came to mind was running
It's something I do every day [a] lot of the most important decisions. I've made and ideas I've come up with have occurred while running
So I started to think about when I'm at my best [right] [when] I'm working out and truly pushing myself
Obviously, I set goals right. I look to stretch my limits my boundaries and I can do that on my own
[I] really don't need anyone or anything
but when I truly
excel
Is when I feel those footsteps behind me
When I know that if I [don't] speed up
someone will run by
And leave me behind as they go on for a faster time and this thought drives me insane
Look, I know it's just to run around the charles river right? I'm downtown Boston. I'm not at the Olympics
[I] get why it would seem a little crazy
But to me, it's the same thing as a race starting a business excelling at work
It's instilling the mentality that I will do whatever it takes to stay ahead
Regardless of how it's perceived
Just like I do everything in my power to be that same [way] in all aspects of life. There are always
footsteps behind me
That's how I push to stay at the top of my game if you're not obsessed with getting better at doing more than everyone else
You will be left behind
The sound of Footsteps is a reminder
That you haven't even scratched the surface of what you can do
That you can completely transform
How you think of winning, and that's how you will get what you want?
Listen every morning when you [wake] [up] you need to know that there are footsteps behind you that [a] million
People want what you want?
They're waking up every day intent on doing what you do then are willing to put in the work
The best do that and then some right they step up. They're willing to go further be crazy
Put everything out there for their goals. [it] doesn't matter how ridiculous it looks
Success is doing what it [takes]
And I know that's vague. I know there isn't you know an answer right now in [ten] steps?
But you will find your way, you will stumble you'll fall
but if you truly have [that] tenacity
To outrun to outwork everyone else the only thing left to do is win
Surprise yourself surprise everyone around you
They will be there I promise
only a step behind
