I asked myself: Who have I lost to most of the time in my life?
It didn’t take long to realise that I have often lost to myself.
I lost when I didn’t keep my promise to commit. I lost when I wavered from the decisions I made. I lost when I knowingly distracted myself, even though I knew I should be focusing. I lost when I chose short-term pleasures over sustained effort toward my goals. I lost when I prioritised ego-centric goals over service-oriented ones.
I lose to myself many times every day, hoping to lose less often over time.
