We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit - Aristotle
Don't ever compete with others, who you happened to be a week gone, yesterday, or even a minute ago. Don't compete with yourself in this moment. No, contend with your potential. Vie with the ghost of the individual you just might become. Because if you enter into the arena looking to challenge that, you'll become far bigger than anything you might have ever dreamed of.
Every single day, bring your capability to decide to the table. You may not wake up feeling great, you could be struck by difficulty and land flat on your back, but make the choice to stand back up, wipe the dust out of your eyes and get back to playing with with the individual you know you could become.
Who is that potential person?
That's only an answer that you can truly give yourself. But what I am able to tell you is that your potential is just a little better than you at everything in life. They run a lot faster than you, they work harder than you, they lift more, they talk with more men or women, they make a room burst with laugher and anything else you can imagine. The thing is you shouldn't be threatened by this. Sure, you may never actually reach those points where you surpass your potential in competition. That's not the point. The point is seeing what you are truly capable of and then growing into that person.
If you can conjure up and battle with your potential, it is possible to see the future of what is possible for yourself. That, more than anything, is worth its weight in all of the jewels in the world.
So dream a little and see what you are capable of.
It might totally change your life.
