Hey David, my friend,
I want you to take challenges head on, esp those which you feel someone else who might be better suited than you will take away the honors... No, don't let that deter you from giving your best shot at it and then better that best shot immediately until your shots begin to hit only the bull's eye.
When you're in a situation when everything seems somehow impossible (however insignificant or significant it may be), remember, that moment in time your back is stuck at the proverbial wall -- it means there aren't any back paces left for you to take. I had been in the situation many times, back at the wall, and there was only the 'either go forward now' or 'go down'. So may be I know a bit about what I am talking! lol
Seriously, again:
At that time, all you past wins do not matter, except that they may only give you confidence that you can go forward and beat every one else in the race. So look forward to such situations and evolve! Winning is in the mind -- first and at every moment then, till you actually break the ribbon and get the top medal.
Show the world that the 'ugly duckling of the moment' is actually a majestic swan in the making!
Now -- Get Going Ahead!
