Compete!

A few years ago, I picked this word as a personal theme for the year. It worked very well and I was just thinking about bringing it back. It is such a meaningful word. It implies preparing and executing. In many scenarios it is rooted in competing with another team or people.

In running a marathon, you compete against yourself. This is what makes it so difficult and extremely fun too. Throughout the training process, you learn about yourself. During the actual race, you find a personal set of limits and how to exceed them. It’s a celebration of you!
