Benchmark your performance against your best competitors. Think how you can beat them next time.

Being true to yourself means living in truth with each person in your life. It means refusing to say or do something that you don't believe is right. Living in truth with other people means that you refuse to stay in any situation where you are unhappy with the behavior of another person. You refuse to tolerate it. You refuse to compromise.

When you find your heart's desire, you'll have the key to unlocking your potential in every other part of your life.
