Competing With Your Greatest Potential

By Evan Sanders


It took me a long time to truly realize the seriousness of the concept of quality over quantity.

Maybe it's the world we have grown up in or something else completely, but there seems to be a compelling urge for people to get infatuated with going for quantity vs. quality. Who knows why this really is, but the results are known. When you end up going for quantity over quality, your life cheapens completely and you are surrounded by a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't really have much value to it.

I am a firm believer in the indisputable fact that there are things, people and goals that can only ever be reached when you grow into them. When you are going for the cheap stuff, you aren't ready yet. The day you can look yourself in the face and tell yourself that you aren't yet built to take on something huge is a very grounding, humbling, and yet above all...inspiring day.

Most people become disappointed with their lives because they never had the courage or guts to go after what they really wanted for themselves.

In order to become someone you've never been, you have to be willing to do things and act in ways you never have before.

You have to be willing to put your name on the board, write a goal with it, and give it everything you have.

Above all, you must be willing to continuously raise the bar for yourself in order to become something great. Good is never good enough. Excellence is the goal.

When you search for happiness, you will never find it. Happiness is a fleeting emotion just like any other emotion in the book. However, if you come to a place of gratitude for what you have now and appreciation for the opportunity you have to build something new in the future, then happiness will find you.

A whole lot has been written about being happy in this world, and yet we've never had more suffering. People constantly try to tack on new skills and habits and always find themselves back in the same place. Happiness is not something that should be sought out, but a result of you doing the healing and inner work necessary to move forward in your life.

Make sacrifices. Sacrifice today for a better tomorrow. See a dream that you have in your mind and go out and tackle it. You can spend your entire life wondering "what if" but if you go out there and actually go for what you want, you can remove those two tragic words from your vocabulary.

Sacrifices will be the foundation your new life is built upon.

Be your own hero today.
