ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO!

A common term used in the sport of track & field is PR or PB which stand for Personal Record or Personal Best.  Track athletes are always striving to improve their PR or PB.  It's what drives them and compels them to workout day in and day out! 

Track athletes are actually kind of "weird" in regards to setting a PR.  For most, if not all track athletes winning the race is not enough.  The ultimate goal for a track athlete is to set a Personal Best.  Being a former collegiate track athlete myself, I know firsthand the importance of setting a new PR every time I stepped onto the track.

Have you ever thought about your Personal Best in life?  You see many of us go through life and we judge our success in terms of the "other people" in the race.  We simply do not strive to be our Best Self, instead we are satisfied with just being better than the next person.  Thinking this way is much like the track athlete who wants to just win the race, but doesn't care about improving his/her time!

Successful people are never satisfied with their present level, instead they are constantly challenging themselves to become better and better.  What is your absolute standard of excellence that you judge yourself by?
