To run you own race there has to be these things present:

1. Discipline - Know what you're going after 
2. Focus (Chrissy Holm)

Don't quit, run your own race till you get to the finish line. 
It is not about the other guy .
You cannot change the other guy .. 
The amount energy it takes for you to turn around and see where the other guy is at will derail you. 

Focus on you!
It is not over until it is over  

Run your race 
What you focus on you maximize 

James Allen said : As a man thinketh so is he 

So if you pause to look at everyone around you and what race they’re running 

“You’re in the lack “ when you’re there , That’s what you will manifest
