This is all in your head. You have to keep the focus on yourself and you have to stay on track with yourself. Your biggest opponent and competition is you, yourself. You'll continuously play mind games with yourself and you'll psych yourself out. You'll only lose if you choose to get psyched out by your own accord because it's the easiest thing to beat but so many lose to it. They're a slave to their fucked up habits. They're slaves to the things that destroy them. It's an abusive relationship they refuse to leave.
