Comparing yourself to others feeds fear, but John Wooden stayed focused on his own definition of success. When you measure yourself against yesterday instead of other people, setbacks become learning opportunities and fear loses its grip.

The biggest challenge to really living without fear is if you have to compare yourself to others to know who you are, you are going to live in fear. Good enough, or you'll overblow yourself and not let anyone who sees the world differently get around you. John Wooden would have that every single day. He focused on that definition of success, and what happens is you lose the fear of failure because when you come from that place, you don't look at things as failure. You look at it as what happened? What can I learn? How can I use this to be of greater service? How can I use this to rise beyond what I did today? The only person you compare yourself is to yourself.
