Let every man run his own race set before him. If you have to look at others, let it be for inspiration and a source of encouragement or motivation. Run your own race too and receive strength from the process.

It's God to live by choice, not by chance and to Make changes, but not an excuses. You have to be motivated, not manipulated. Work to excel, not to compete. And always listen to your own inner voice, not the jumbled opinions of everyone else. This are the only ways you can inspire people around you! And the best way you can grow into the best version of YOU!

It is not as bad as it sounds. It is not as bad as it looks. It is not as difficult as it seems. It is a process that needs to be passed through. Go through it painstakingly, and watch out how well and refined you will turn out to be.

Seeing some people above you doesn't define you as a failure, you don't even know if it takes them much time than you to reach were they are today, everything in life is a process, keep on with what you are doing and the results will surely come. Thanks for sharing @olawalium.
