My version phrases it a bit different.
No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
Philippians 3:13-14 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/php.3.13-14.NLT
What I like is the recognition in myself that no, I have not made it yet. But no matter how often I may fall and feel broken, as long as I keep looking ahead and pressing on, even if it is only a crawling pace, I have the peace of Christ and will reach the end of the race eventually.
Thanks for posting these man. Really brings a bright perspective to my mornings, especially in the toxic atmosphere at work.
