In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be ________with who you are. There's always someone who's a bit ________. The only solution is to reach _______ and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more ______ measure for comparison than who you were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your _________.

Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. ______ you see yourself as better than someone and you get ______, or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for _______. It is a fool's game. Not one of us is ______ alike. The only direct and honest comparison is ______ yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.

My opinion is that you are only ______ to compare yourself to someone else if their life ______ is the same as your own. Good luck finding that match. And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how ______ you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there's not, you can ______ someone is coming up fast behind you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best ______.

Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to ______ you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who ______ if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn't make a bit of ______. You are a more fit person today than you were yesterday. Your own ______ is all you need.

If you ______ to a slightly higher standard of yourself every day, you will always be at the top of your game.
