I choose to excel, not compete

I discovered this on a friend's display picture, and it has got me thinking since. I thought I would share it with you.

I choose to excel, not compete.

This way, I do not measure myself against someone else. I strive to be the best that I can be, and I will revel in the satisfaction that comes from knowing I put my best foot forward - even when I don't win. I will not stop 'pushing' when the world ranks me better than all others; no, only a competitor would stop at this point.

I will continue to 'push' until I have given all that I can.

You?
