You win your race by focusing on your own finish line

Nadia Buckus
The feeling of I am not enough can only exist by comparing yourself to another and living your life by expectations that aren’t your own.

If you want to use a great person to measure where you are in life and where you can be, sure, there’s not a lot wrong with that. But don’t be attached to the result.

The only result you should be attached to is the result of you being better than you were yesterday, last week, last month, and one year ago.

Set your own goals based on what you want to achieve, not what the next door neighbour has, or the need to outdo a friend or family member.

Everyone is different and everyone can WIN! You will never win if you have your eyes on another person. You win your race by focusing on your own finish line.You win in life by being happy for others winning their race, and you giving your heart and soul to win your own race

It’s you verses you. The battle is won or lost in your own mind. Comparing yourself to another is an insult to who YOU ARE. It’s an insult to who you’re going to be. You are better than that.

You are UNIQUE, and that will ALWAYS be your greatest power, that will always be what separates you from the rest.So be YOU. Focus on YOU. Focus on growing you.

Developing you. Mastering our strengths. WINNING YOUR OWN RACE. If others win their race, great. We are all here to win! And the moment you support others, support will come back to you.
