Our opponent is never others, but ourselves. If there's anything you have to fight, it's your old self. To conquer oneself is the greatest victory
In the journey of life, we often unconsciously regard others as opponents, comparing achievements, wealth, appearance... We forget that the real battle is inside us.
We always envy the light of others, but ignore our own potential.
Everyone has their own growth pace and trajectory.
Maybe you don't think you're good enough, brave enough, strong enough.
But believe me, you are more powerful than you think.
From the moment we are born, we begin to compete with ourselves.
As children, we may be afraid to sleep alone because of the dark, which is a challenge to self-fear;
As teenagers, we may want to withdraw from difficult academic work, which is a struggle against self-inertia.
As adults, we will be swayed by various pressures and temptations, which is a test of our own will.
At every stage of life, the self takes on a different form, holding us back.
Competition with others, of course, can stimulate our morale, but this competition is often external and short-lived.
We may be complacent because of a momentary victory, or we may be discouraged because of a momentary failure.
But when we turn our eyes to ourselves and strive to overcome our past selves, the victories we achieve are truly ours and lasting.
Overcoming your past self means constantly transcending your limitations.
Everyone has their own weaknesses and shortcomings, these weaknesses may be timid and timid, lack of self-confidence, may also be lazy, impatient and impulsive.
Only by facing these weaknesses bravely and working hard to overcome them can we continue to grow and progress.
Overcoming your past self also means pushing beyond your comfort zone.
People tend to be used to staying in their familiar environment, doing what they are good at, because it makes us feel safe and comfortable.
But real growth often happens outside of your comfort zone.
Only by bravely stepping out of our comfort zone, trying new things, and challenging new heights, can we constantly expand our ability boundaries and realize our own value.
To overcome oneself is not an overnight thing, but a long and arduous process.
It requires our firm faith, indomitable will and unremitting efforts.
In this process, we may encounter all kinds of difficulties and setbacks, and may also experience numerous failures and blows.
However, as long as we always maintain confidence in ourselves and do not give up efforts, we will be able to overcome ourselves and achieve self-breakthrough.
