Run Your Own Race 🔑
It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish
Noah Lyles was in 7th place at the 50m mark
Lyles edged past Jamaican Kishane Thompson to win his first Olympic gold medal in a lifetime-best 9.784 seconds. Lyles crossed the finish line just five-thousandths of a second ahead of Thompson, who posted a time of 9.789.
In life, much like in a race, the beginning may not always go as planned. You might face setbacks, challenges, or even find yourself behind others. However, what truly matters is how you respond to these obstacles.
This approach applies to any pursuit in life—whether it’s personal goals, professional challenges, or athletic competitions. The journey may have its ups and downs, but your ultimate success is determined by your ability to finish strong, regardless of where you start.
