“My motto is to be stronger than yesterday. If I have to, I’ll be stronger than half a day ago, even a minute ago!” ~ Rock Lee, Naruto (Patreon)

It’s easy to compare ourselves to others—those we perceive as “born with natural talent” or “smarter.” But the fact is, if we look hard enough, we’ll always find someone more skilled than us. Instead of focusing on others’ abilities, we should focus on what we can control: our actions and thoughts. Don’t aim to be the best: aim to be better than the “you” of yesterday—or, perhaps, the “you” of one minute ago.
