“Everyone has a goal. Whether that is to become a world champion or not doesn’t really matter.
.
Although your goal may often look hard to achieve at first, if you continually make efforts toward your goal, then your time, energy and commitment will never have been wasted.
.
So, keep it up as much as you can. Stay strong until you win against yourself. And at the end of the day, you will always be the winner.” ~ Rika Usami

Goals are individual, not universal. Just because someone can run further than you, or lift heavier weights than you, or perform a kata better than you, doesn’t mean your effort isn’t valid. So work hard for you and your own goals. Progress comes to those that continually practice.

Define success on your terms, achieve it by your own rules and build a life you’re proud of. ??
