Competing With Your Greatest Potential

By Evan Sanders


It took me a long time to truly realize the seriousness of the concept of quality over quantity.

Maybe it's the world we have grown up in or something else completely, but there seems to be a compelling urge for people to get infatuated with going for quantity vs. quality. Who knows why this really is, but the results are known. When you end up going for quantity over quality, your life cheapens completely and you are surrounded by a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't really have much value to it.

I am a firm believer in the indisputable fact that there are things, people and goals that can only ever be reached when you grow into them. When you are going for the cheap stuff, you aren't ready yet. The day you can look yourself in the face and tell yourself that you aren't yet built to take on something huge is a very grounding, humbling, and yet above all...inspiring day.

Most people become disappointed with their lives because they never had the courage or guts to go after what they really wanted for themselves.

You need to be willing to make sacrifices for your own greater good.

You must be willing to put your name next to a goal and keep yourself accountable to it.

Above all, you must be willing to continuously raise the bar for yourself in order to become something great. Good is never good enough. Excellence is the goal.

When you search for happiness, you will never find it. Happiness is a fleeting emotion just like any other emotion in the book. However, if you come to a place of gratitude for what you have now and appreciation for the opportunity you have to build something new in the future, then happiness will find you.

There's so much out there about being happy, but I think anything, particularly when it's involved around an emotion, when attempted at "too hard" can basically end up being a disaster or completely inauthentic. I suspect, ultimately, making incremental changes to yourself and letting contentment find you because you're being the best version of yourself will deliver you more joy in the long run.

Make sacrifices. Sacrifice today for a better tomorrow. See a dream that you have in your mind and go out and tackle it. You can spend your entire life wondering "what if" but if you go out there and actually go for what you want, you can remove those two tragic words from your vocabulary.

Sacrifice is what will make you great.

Make something of yourself today.
