Overachievers look forward to the finish line, underachievers look back to see who they are beating.

About This Quote

Having a goal in life is essential. The more you achieve, the more you will believe that your efforts are worth it. A person who has an overachieving mindset does not look back to see who they are beating. Instead, they look forward to the finish line.

On the other hand, an underachiever looks back at all of the people they have beaten and feel a sense of failure because they have not achieved what they were expecting to achieve in life. They look back to beat themselves up for not being good enough and choosing the wrong things in life.
