Run the race against yourself and not the guy in the other lane.

One of the greatest temptations we have in life is to compare ourselves with other people. We see their success and imagine that they simply aren't facing the same challenges which hold us back. That's out fixed mindset at work. We like to imagine that it's our circumstances and talents (or lack thereof) that determine our ability to succeed. That is simply not true. It's our willingness to put in the hard work, the practice time, and mental fortitude required to achieve our goals. Unfortunately, when we start looking at others and competing with them we hinder our own ability to be the best version of ourselves we can be. In honor of Georgia winning the National Championship this week, we are going to turn to the man who led them to their last championship in 1980 for advice. Herschel Walker is one of the greatest running backs in history. Once again, the mindset that creates success on the field can help you create success in your life.
