It's been said that the biggest enemy
of 'great' is 'good'. The biggest enemy most of us face is 'ourselves'. The
nagging voice says: be like him, you're not worthy; do what he does, follow
where others are going. When you're trying to be like someone else, the best
you can ever be is "second best". Why compare yourself with
others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you.
We all do it or have done it at some point in our lives; we compare ourselves
to others and gauge where we are based on what we observe them to be doing.
When you stop comparing yourself to others, you tend to produce more results in
your life, you are able to improve yourself, and get a better vision for your
life. The easiest thing to be in the world is YOU. The most difficult
thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that
position. Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be content
with what you have, which means that if you don't have a plan for your own
life, you will be the part of someone else's.
There are no shortcut to any place worth going. The way to the top is neither swift or easy. Nothing worth while ever happens in a hurry, so be patient. Your success has less to do with speed and more to do with timing and direction. The key is doing the right thing at the right time. You are always nearer than you think. The greater oppurtunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. The most important thing in our lives is what we are doing now. Know the real value of today. The regrets that most people experience in life comes from failing to act when having an oppurtunity. Be on the outlook for oppurtunities God is sending your way. Seize the momoments! The trouble with life in the fast lane is that you get to the other end too soon. Hastes makes waste; give time, time. Many people over estimate what they can do in a year and under estimate what they can do in a life time. There is simply more to life than increasing it's speed.
