as far as self-improvement in getting after it goes whose standard should one measure themselves by so who do I use as a standard to measure myself by it’s it’s really everyone and no one because there’s people in the world that have skills and strength and talent that I will never have Oh reading some of these notions that you can be whatever you want to be is as long as you want it bad enough those are not true there are fairy tales we all have limitations and I don’t have the right genes to be an Olympic weightlifting champion I don’t have the right genetics to be an Olympic champion sprinter or a gymnast or whatever sport you want a name now sure if I trained my whole life perhaps I could have achieved some high level in those sports but I can tell you I do not have the DNA to be the best in the world in those categories so what does that mean does that mean that I give up does that mean that I quit of course not not at all it means that I’m gonna try to be the best that I can be the strongest the fastest the smartest the smartest human that I can become that’s what I’m gonna go for and I will I will compare myself to others and and look at them and see what they’re doing and I’ll say that it is possible how close can I get to that greatness how close can I get to that glory but the reality is that my glory it doesn’t happen in front of a crowd it doesn’t happen in a stadium it doesn’t happen on a stage there’s no medals handed out my glory happens in the darkness of the early morning in solitude alone where I try and I try and I try again to be everything that I possibly can be the best that I possibly can be better than I was yesterday and better than other people thought I could be faster and stronger and smarter and with one victory that no one can ever take away from me a victory that is earned every single day a victory of determination and will and discipline and a victory that is achieved because I will not stop
