How Do You Measure You?

You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher standards for yourself and then by doing
everything possible to live up to those standards. – Brian Tracy

The best person you can compete with is yourself.

Strive to better each and every day.

Did you make a mistake today?

Learn from it and do better next time.

Did you say or do something, less than kind, or smart?

Apologize (if necessary/appropriate) and learn from it – and do better next time.

Did you . . . ?

Are you sensing a theme here?

Whatever happens (even “good” stuff), understand it and learn from it.

It’s how you get better (than you were before).
