competing with yourself

I went digging through some old journals this week, sorting stuff for storage and stumbled across this quote. I discovered it my first year of college and love that it is just as applicable to my life today:

"Life is a competition not with others, but with ourselves. We should seek each day to live stronger, better, truer lives; each day to master some weakness of yesterday; each day to repair a mistake; each day to surpass ourselves." -- Elder David B. Haight
(Kind of reminds me of the "deep thought" my good friend had while running a half marathon last week.)
