Excavate Your Unique Skills

Don’t do things simply because others are doing them.

Build systems and processes that work for you based on your individual skills, needs, and goals.

Set your own terms.

Your success should only be judged by the point at which you started.

It’s easy to give in to contrast bias and either become overconfident or lose hope completely, by relying on external barometers of success.

The biggest mistake you can make in running is to look to the right or the left. You’re expending unnecessary energy, and the simple act of observing others can have unintended effects on your own performance.

Your unique blend of skills will set you apart. Lean into what comes naturally to you.
