Well hello, Friday!!
“Don’t Compete…Create” – Earl Nightingale
As we move along our 30 Day Mind, Body, Business Transformative month – it’s important to not just move through the process just to get it done – it’s important that you actually slow down, think, and then ACT.
I just finished up listening to my daily dose of Earl and The Strangest Secret. Beyond his reminder not to conform – this message of don’t compete but create just resonates with me!
Stop worrying about what everyone else and their mother is doing – focus on what fuels your soul, what YOU want.
Remember: We become what we think about.
If you are constantly competing with Joe, Sally and Molly – then you are missing the joy and you will struggle to find success.
I’m not saying that healthy competition isn’t a good motivator – but there is a difference between wanting to be better than YOU were before and being better than Joe because your ego is in the way.
When you are in the cycle of constantly competing, you are comparing and focusing on what you don’t have versus what you want. We become what we think about.
I’ve struggled with this one, and frankly still catch myself going down the rabbit hole.
Let it go. Your competition, your enemies, those who don’t serve you will find their own path – be it good or bad. Stop worrying about what they are up to, what they are doing, and 100% focus ON YOU and what YOU want out of life.
CREATE your Life by Design versus letting your life be driven by your desire to be better than someone else. Your goal should be to create a better version of yourself.
Hope that helps! Be one with Earl – he’s the bomb!
