Security.

"It's not enough to finish the race yourself. To be successful, you must take somebody with you across the finish line." - John Maxwell

The saddest thing perhaps is winning alone.

No, I am not writing these things because I won something. I just realized, some of us are so obsessed to get a trophy that we often neglect the people around us. We neglect the relationships, which actually helped us reach the place where we're standing right now. It's good to envision something, to envision success. But when we become so focused in achieving this, our environment then becomes so obscure that we develop our own "blindspots". After a time and after regaining consciousness, the world has actually turned away from you. The key here? Don't put much trust in yourself, egotistical creature. Slow down and find a good company.

But hey, to whom do you share your success with? Your failures? Your hopes? Your dreams? Winning alone is indeed the saddest thing. People may leave you, because of their eagerness to finish the race first. Or because of mere jealousy. But He is just up there, waiting for you. He is there, willing to run with you. In Him is the only place that is secure. He doesn't need a perfect person. He needs someone, someone like you.

 ⁷ But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
