Moreover, competing with others often leads to negative emotions, envy, and a sense of scarcity. We start to see success as a limited resource, where someone else's achievements mean fewer opportunities for ourselves. This mindset only hinders our progress rather than propelling it forward.

The Benefits of Competing with Yourself

On the contrary, when you shift your mindset and start competing with yourself, amazing things begin to happen. Here are some of the benefits of this approach:

1. Self-Improvement

Competing with yourself allows you to focus on your personal growth and development. Instead of worrying about how you measure up to others, you can invest your energy in improving your skills, knowledge, and abilities. This continuous self-improvement sets you on a path of success and fulfillment.

2. Unleash Your Full Potential

When you stop competing with others, you no longer limit yourself to their achievements or standards. Instead, you can discover and unleash your full potential, pushing yourself beyond what you thought was possible. By tapping into your unique strengths and capabilities, you can reach new heights and accomplish wonders.

3. Increased Self-Awareness

By focusing on self-improvement, you become more self-aware. You start recognizing your strengths, weaknesses, and areas in need of growth. This heightened self-awareness allows you to make informed decisions, set realistic goals, and align your actions with your values and aspirations.

4. Motivation and Inspiration

As you compete with yourself, you become your own source of motivation and inspiration. Setting personal goals and witnessing your progress empowers you to keep going, regardless of what others are doing. This internal drive fuels your passion and dedication, propelling you forward on your journey to success.

So, next time you feel overwhelmed by the achievements of others, remember the real secret to success lies within you. Stop competing with others and start competing with yourself. It's time to unleash your greatness and become the best version of yourself!

If you have passion and focus, and if you are willing to work hard, you can be whatever you want to be. Determination and grit are far more important than talent.”

Exceptional success comes from your talent multiplied by your behavior.

Everyone has dreams, but to achieve them, we need to stop competing with others and start competing with ourselves.

That’s the bold assertion from soccer coach Jason Carney, who has been involved in youth and professional sports for more than twenty-five years. In this goal-achieving guidebook, he explores how to:

• get more out of yourself and players—be they athletes or employees;
• work toward becoming the best version of yourself;
• focus on the things you can control;
• start thinking about “we” before “me.”

By sharing his experiences as a child, friend, father, husband, and mentor, the author provides insights on how to look at life differently as you start moving toward your dreams.
