Adjustments
During the course of a race, a racing team will make many adjustments to the car to improve its handling and increase its speed. These are done during the pit stops and can dramatically improve the results of the race, if the team makes the right adjustments at the right time. Watch a race sometime and listen to the pit crew's conversation. Some adjustments are as simple as changing the tires' air pressure to increase traction or adding tape to the grill to create more down force. A crew can also make adjustments to the suspension or move weight around on the car by adjusting the springs for better handling.
A key to continually winning races and being competitive is a racing team's ability to work on the car throughout the race to improve it. Making good adjustments gives its driver the best possible set-up for ending the race.
Thinking of your life as a race, ask yourself, "Am I making adjustments constantly and consistently to improve my chances of winning? Am I doing the little things that will make my life more successful?" Look at your goal. Is it to improve your health? Then the adjustments could be to join a gym, take supplements or eat fresh fruit instead of that doughnut for breakfast. Is it to advance your career? Adjustments could include streamlining your daily activities, organizing your time better or eliminating busy work. Is your goal to improve a relationship? Make adjustments in the way you relate and show your love.
A key to being competitive in the race of life is to constantly work on yourself, to improve as the race goes on, to make those good adjustments that will give you the best chance of winning.
