It’s too big a world to be in competition with everybody else, the only guy I have to get better than is who I am right now.
Col. Potter, MASH
A lot of truth lies in this quote.
You are what you want to compare yourself to! Better yourself and watch improvement based on milestones you set for yourself!

Motivation is the start, but if it’s not solidified into discipline, it usually fades away into regret pretty quickly once you realize you never acted on it.
Why do I run this blog? Because motivation often fades away as quickly as it comes.
To manifest it, remind yourself often of it with blogs like these and get disciplined about it!
Use your motivation as an ignition for the motor of discipline to get running!

Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they’re yours.
Richard Bach
As long as you belief in your limitations enough to even argue for them, they are as real as they can get. Overcome them by not acknowledging them.

Althouth it is an exaggerating commercial, this one has a great message:
Maturity comes when you stop making excuses and start making changes.
Rafiki, The Lion King
Excuses are the easy way out.
Everybody can find excuses for anything. Excuses not to work out, not to get up early, not to eat healthy; excuses are the little devils on your shoulder that make your life easy in the short-term and miserable in the long-term.
Maturity is to realise that in order to achieve long-term success, you have to work hard and sometimes make unpleasant choices in the short-term. No pain no gain goes the saying and that’s damn straight when it comes to any form of achievement in the real world.
So get the excuse-automatism out of your head and start being responsible (at least for yourself). It will be rough in the beginning, but what can I say, you will reap what you sow!
