World Class Positivity - Better Than Who?

I have long been a fan of Wayne Dyer. This quote, I believe, encapsulates a healthy, positive approach to self development. When I read this, I recall a person who trained at a gym I also trained at. He was a really good lifter. He told me one day he was not getting into a contest until “he was sure he was the best”. I told him then he was NEVER going to enter a competition (to my knowledge he never did and drifted off somewhere into mediocrity). My point is. he was so externally focused he lost sense of the joy of self improvement. Just always try and be better tomorrow than you are today.
