🌿 When You Stop Running Someone Else’s Race
For most of my life, I thought success meant winning.
Faster. Better. More......
But success was never the finish line......
It was the frequency I brought to the race... and the TRUTH I brought to th erace......
I now know that Real success isn’t measured just by results.
It’s measured by resonance... and INTEGRITY... your integrity.....
It’s the knowing — deep down — that you gave everything you had....your very best....
and you couldn’t have done better in that moment....which doesn't mean, it won't get better tomorrow....
That’s integrity...
And integrity feels like freedom.....It is freedom....
Even when things don’t go your way,
if you grew, you already won.
Every ā€œfailureā€ is a doorway....
A coded invitation to become more you.
The real prison isn’t losing.
It’s comparison.
We run so many races that don’t belong to us —
chasing invisible metrics,
performing for approval,
forgetting our own lane.
I learned this the hard way.
MY biggest FAILURE MASQUERADED as SUCCESS.....
......Years ago, I was competing in national-level running.
Trained. Ready. Focused.
And I could’ve won... I had it.. and I knew it...
But I didn’t.....
In the final stretch, I slowed down... I gave it away..... WHY?
Because a quiet voice inside whispered:
ā€œShe deserves it more than you.ā€
And I let her pass.
That day, I didn’t lose because I wasn’t capable.
I lost because I wasn’t free.
You can’t win when you’re running someone else’s race.
That race broke me open.
It showed me all the ways I had been shrinking,
playing small,
asking for permission to shine.
It was my greatest failure —
and my greatest liberation.
šŸ’„ I realized: I was worthy of the fruit of my own effort.
That single truth changed everything.
From that day forward,
I stopped running for approval.
I started running in truth.
And that’s when the real race began.
Freedom begins the moment you stop chasing worth
and start embodying it.
🌿 Reflection:
What’s one moment that looked like failure,
but secretly freed you?
Share it below —
someone may find their freedom in your story.
