Rise Above Your Own Past

RISE ABOVE YOUR OWN PAST Never believe you're ABOVE or BENEATH anybody; Never feel EQUAL to anyone, not even to yourself (because equality is a cliché). But keep a meek spirit. Never think you're inferior or superior to anyone. Only be superior to your past. Remember, you were down or out, then you measure up to "yourself", now you rise above your past.
