Hi Everyone,
Is "victory" really an indication of growth and success?
Not necessarily! It really depends on the quality of your competition.
That's right! To truly be successful you need to push yourself in every area of your life.
Part of this is getting around people who are playing in business and in life at a much higher level than you are. If you're running 10ks and want to run marathons - you have to get around marathon runners. If you want to become a millionaire - start hanging around and learning from people earning over a million dollars a year. If you want to speak more eloquently - get around eloquent speakers. I think you get the message.
I know people who hang around with, and compete against people inferior to them in different ways - so they can temporarily feel superior. This does not make people winners. It really makes them losers - and deep down they know it!
Remember - there are two ways to build a taller building. 1. Knock down someone elses (loser's approach), or 2. Build the bigger building (winner's approach).
Personally, I'd rather lose to someone much better than me - than win against someone inferior.
Let your victories be real and your losses an indicator of how much further you need to push.
"Grow" or "perish"...the choice is yours!
Until next time...
