I was cycling and noticed a person, about a quarter of a kilometer in front of me. I could tell he was cycling a little slower than me and decided to try to1him. I had about a kilometer to go on the road2turning off.
So I 3 cycling faster and faster and every4 I was gaining on him just a little bit. After just a few minutes I was only about 100 yards5 him, so I really picked up the pace and 6 myself You would have 7 I was cycling in the last section of London Olympic triathlon.
8, I caught up with him and passed him by. On the inside I felt so 9.I beat him, of course, but he didn't even know we were 10 .
After I passed him, I 11that I had been so focused on competing against him that I had 12 my turn. I had gone nearly six blocks past it and had to turn around and go all the way back.
Isn't that what happens in life when we 13 competing with co-workers, neighbors, and friends, trying to14 that we are more successful or more important? We spend our time and 15 chasing after them and we miss out on our own 16 to our future.
The 17 of unhealthy competition is that it's a never-ending 18, because there will19 be somebody ahead of you, someone with a better job, more money and more education, etc.
Therefore, just take what life has given you, your height, weight and personality. Stay focused and live a healthy life. There's no 20in life. Run your own race and wish others well!
