You can always be better
The “best” is a singular, winner takes all experience.
There aren’t multiple best.
Chances are, you won’t become the best. This gives you an excuse to hide.
“If I can’t win, I’ll take my ball and go home.”
There is always an opportunity to be better.
No matter where you are, skill-wise, better is available through showing up and pushing through “uncomfortability.”
Everyone can do this, even the “best.”
So, be better.
