And how far did you get?

Did you win the race? Did you accomplish what you set out to do?

Often, we fall into what seems like the easy way to accomplish our goals. Who wants to take the long way around when there’s a faster route?

Imagine what would happen if you stopped constantly comparing and instead got ahead by running your race—the one that fits your unique strengths, values, and priorities.

The K.I.S.S. ~Run the R.A.C.E. meant for you!

That’s where the R.A.C.E. method comes in. It lays out a clear path to owning your journey without distractions or detours.

R — Recognize Your Unique Starting Point

You’re not starting from zero, and you’re not supposed to run the same course as someone else. Recognize where you are right now—your skills, your setbacks, your resources. Own your story and understand your starting line. This isn’t about envy or regret. It’s about honest assessment so that you can plan a realistic route forward.

A — Align Your Goals With Your Values

The race you’re in must resonate with what truly matters to you—not what impresses others. What’s the point of chasing money, status, or approval if it drains your energy or clashes with who you really are? Take time to clarify your core values and set goals that reflect them. When your inner compass guides you, you’ll run with more passion and less distraction.

C — Cut Out Comparison and Distraction

Comparison is a productivity killer disguised as inspiration. Watching others run their race only pulls your focus off your own path. Cut the noise—limit time on social media, unsubscribe from content that triggers doubt, and stop measuring your progress with someone else’s yardstick. Instead, turn your eyes forward and measure your growth by your own milestones.

E — Execute Relentlessly With Patience

Running your race means consistent, focused action—even when progress feels slow or invisible. The temptation to sprint ahead with shortcuts or to bail at the first sign of struggle is real. But success comes from steady execution mixed with patience. Build habits that propel you forward every single day and trust that mileage builds momentum.

The bottom line: Your race isn’t about keeping pace with others. It’s about setting your own stride, sticking to your course, and pushing through doubt and distraction.
