I See … Competition? July 8, 2005
Posted by Amber D. Evans in : Reflections, Chico CA , trackback… There
is no one here to which you should compare yourself to. The only (one
and true) competitor is YOURSELF." And only yourself. No one part of
this group should (or even consider) comparing themselves to others.
My sixth sense is telling me that competition has crept in. So, I was
obliged to give my two cents worth about why we're even doing this
thing:
"After much careful thought and deliberation, I've found myself in a position to state the following:
There
is no one here to which you should compare yourself to. The only (one
and true) competitor is YOURSELF." And only yourself. No one part of
this group should (or even consider) comparing themselves to others.
Why
state this? Because I'm a true believer that only yourself is truly
capable and able to determine what is and is not possible given the
time and abilities that we all have. Some of us will be strong
swimmers, or strong riders, or strong runners, or combination thereof.
But as far as I can assess, none of us are the strongest or the weakest
at anything we do.
We're all the best at what we're doing,
simply and only because we are doing it. I think this is fundamental to
who we are as a group and as a team in working together.And if any of
you are thinking otherwise, I'd be happy to kick your ass or slap you
upside the head if you even think otherwise. I'm proud of each and
everyone of you gals involved in this activity. And you each should be
proud of yourself.
Remember, we each started somewhere, it's where you end up (the finish line) that matters in the end. 'Nuff said."
Awwww
… what an inspirational piece. Funny thing is, I really did mean
everything I said in it. Seven pints of Michelob Ultra beer will do
that to a person.
