Only Compete with Yourself Written by D. Jonathan Fourie
2Ti 4:7 I have fought the good (worthy, honorable, and noble) fight, I have finished the race, I have kept (firmly held) the faith.
Many a time people when achieving a remarkable whatever, you will never hear the rough and the tough of what they went through. Their sights were set to achieve a specific goal.
In their struggle to achieve their goal, there is no room for competition as to compete with someone or against someone. The quest that you have is for yourself. Nothing is more rewarding than to achieve what you have set out to achieve in the first place.
Competition is good, but in a race where nobody knows what you race against, is hard to imagine. Only you know what you are capable of and what you can achieve. Only you know what your strengths and weaknesses are. Only you know how far you can push yourself. But always remember, that in any competition, the body will always try to quite – never believe him – the mind says differently.
What man can think of, man can create. What man can imagine, man can make. Somewhere it is written that, as a man think on his bed comes the morning he will do it. Be wise in what you think, for your actions will broadcast the thoughts of your heart and mind.
Pro 16:9 A man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.

Competition with others will make you focus on your ability to achieve what others achieve. This is not the purpose of life. It is not a good investment! A good investment is to outperform your self time and time again. Remember, the glory is the Lords. A good investment is to build on your own success and drive it forward until you have achieved the ultimate perfection in your own eyes – until you see what the Lord have in stalled for you, and then you strive towards that – and reach it! Remember the wind never waits for the tree to bend. Written by D. Jonathan Fourie
