Don't Compare, Compete: How Focusing on Yourself Unleashes Your True Potential
Don’t Compare … Compete!!!
Comparison robs you of your expectations!!!
Are you constantly measuring yourself against others?
Do you often feel like you're not good enough?
Today, we're going to explore why focusing on yourself not only frees you up to perform your best as an athlete but also helps you become the person you were meant to be.
The Comparison Trap
As athletes, we often fall into the trap of comparison:
- We don't think we're fast enough
- We worry our vertical jump isn't high enough
- We feel we don't see the field as well as others
This focus on our shortcomings can lead us to degrade ourselves and lose sight of who we truly are.
But here's the truth:
You should not compare yourself to others because you are an athlete unlike anybody else who has ever been or will ever be.
Your Unique Athletic Identity
You have a unique skill set and playing style that nobody else has ever had.
When you try to be like others, you're comparing yourself to an athlete you're not meant to be.
Instead, when you focus on your own unique skills and abilities, you allow yourself to perform as the athlete you were born to be.
Your Uniqueness as a Human Being
This principle extends far beyond the athletic field.
In life, many of us:
- Never feel like we're good enough
- Constantly compare ourselves to others
- Criticize ourselves for how we don't measure up
But just like in sports, you have been placed on this planet for a reason.
You have a specific calling, a specific purpose that nobody else has ever had or will ever have.
Embracing Your Inner Genius
So, how can you break free from the comparison trap and unleash your true potential?
- Start focusing on the genius inside you
- Don't dwell on your imperfections, flaws, or shortcomings
- Connect with that deep ball of fire and bundle of energy inside you
- Focus on your inner light and how you can fully express it
- Use your unique gifts to uplift, enhance, and inspire the world around you
When you focus on who you are as a unique individual, you free yourself up to become the person you were born to be …
And …
You'll find that platform that enables you to be an inspiration and a light for those around you.
Let Your Authenticity Shine
My fervent hope and wish for you is this:
- Stop comparing yourself to others
- Focus on yourself and that fire, that light inside you
- Allow it to glow and shine
- Let it become a beacon to uplift, enhance, and inspire all those around you
Remember, comparison robs you of your potential …
But when you compete with yourself and focus on your unique gifts …
You unleash a power that can change not only your game but also your life and the lives of those around you.
I wish you well on your journey of dropping your comparisons and allowing your authentic light to shine, and I send love, gratitude, peace, and blessings to you.
Inspiring YOU every step of your way,
Kyle
