Forget about trying to compete with someone else. Create your own pathway. Create your own new vision.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Just keep on going and keep believing in your own original vision, no matter what odds you have to overcome. And especially don't be stopped by your own fears.
If you think you can do better, then do better. Don't compete with anyone; just yourself.
But if the vision is strong enough, and your goals are steady, and you believe, pretty soon you bring other people with you.
Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.
Sometimes you have to create a vision, a path for a vision. It may not be apparent, and you may have to forge it yourself. And that will be the way to move your life forward.
You will encounter many distractions and many temptations to put your goal aside: The security of a job, a wife who wants kids, whatever. But if you hang in there, always following your vision, I have no doubt you will succeed.
I have an idea of who I want to be, I have a vision of my own success.
Ultimately, you have to pursue your own path, not someone's idea of the right path. You need to stay on your path.
There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don't allow yourself to become one of them.
If you have a vision and you are trying to accomplish something, you have to be competitive, or things are going to slip by you.
