What Most People Get Wrong About Winning
Think about the last time you achieved something big-a promotion, a personal record, a milestone you'd been chasing. How long did that feeling last? A week? A day? Maybe just a few hours before you started looking toward the next goal? Here's the uncomfortable truth: success is a moving target that never stays still. You hit one benchmark, and immediately the goalposts shift. Someone else achieves more, or you realize your accomplishment wasn't quite what you imagined. This endless chase is what happens when we confuse success with excellence. The difference is profound. Success measures you against others-it's about being better than the competition, climbing higher on the ladder, accumulating more wins. Excellence asks a fundamentally different question: "Am I better today than I was yesterday?" It's the difference between running someone else's race and running your own. Legendary runner Steve Prefontaine understood this deeply. He didn't race to beat other runners; he raced to discover his limits. To him, giving anything less than his absolute best was "sacrificing the gift" of his potential. Excellence isn't about being the best in the world-it's about becoming the best version of yourself, repeatedly pushing beyond what you thought possible. This is what makes excellence an infinite game with no finish line, only continuous growth.
