Life isn’t a competition — it’s a personal journey. Too often, we get caught up comparing ourselves to others, measuring our progress against someone else’s pace, path, or success. But the truth is, we each have our own race to run. Our challenges, strengths, and timing are unique. Just because someone else is ahead doesn’t mean we’re behind — it simply means they’re on a different course.
I recently ran a race with my daughter, and as we neared the back of the pack, she began to worry about finishing last. That moment became a teaching one: I reminded her that finishing isn’t about place — it’s about heart. It’s about showing up, moving forward, and staying committed to your own journey, no matter what others are doing.
When we focus on someone else’s race, we lose sight of our own purpose. True fulfillment comes not from being the fastest or the best, but from running with integrity, courage, and joy. Life isn’t about where you place — it’s about how you run.
So, run your race. Run it with your head high and your heart full. And remember — the only person you need to beat is who you were yesterday.
