Achievement

SparkPeople Translation
Do you hold yourself to the standards of other people, wishing you could be better than the next guy? Maybe this is motivating you, but an even greater skill is to just want to be better than yourself. How about pushing yourself to eat better, or walk longer after dinner each day? Goal setting is a great way to "compete" against yourself. You select the end result that you want in any concentration that you choose. Then, it is up to you, and only you, to work to achieve those goals. Thus, you'll be pushing yourself towards greatness, not creating unnecessary competition against others.

My Interpretation
Holding yourself to the standards of other people is a waste of time and energy. Why not hold yourself to the standards of the God that created you? That way, you'll see that maybe you aren't a bad as you thought. In fact, you may find that your biggest competitors (negative thoughts)are not as big as you once thought. That way, the end result will be closer in sight than you thought and the greatness you seek is reachable.
