I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.
– Mikhail Baryshnikov
Do you compare yourself to others? Honestly, the only person you need to compete with is you! If you’re constantly trying to keep up with others, you’ll never feel like you’ve fully succeeded. Strive to better yourself first and the rest will fall into place.
- Figure out what you’d like to improve in yourself.
- Determine what steps are necessary to get you where you want to be.
- Work on those things one by one.
Self-Reflection Questions:
I. Do I know what I want out of life, or am I just following everyone else’s lead?
II. How will I take the time to learn who I really am?
III. Am I willing to admit that I’m better than no one and no one is better than me?
