Be Your Best

“You don’t have to be the best, you just have to be your best.”

What? Are you kidding? Are you telling me, after all these years, that I only need to be my best? It sounds so simple, so obvious. Have I really never heard this before?

What have I been trying to prove all this time? And who have I been trying to prove it to? If I take a look deep inside-way down in there-I think I can find the answer. It’s me. I’ve been trying to prove it to myself. I didn’t think I was good enough. I didn’t believe that anyone would want what I had to offer. I thought it was you who I was trying to prove it to, but it’s been me all along.

“You don’t have to be the best, you just have to be your best.” What freedom that simple statement offers! Be your best! Be proud of yourself and what you have to offer. Learn from what you do today, so that you can offer something even better tomorrow. Oh, and most importantly: Don’t forget to have fun doing it!

Won’t it feel great to end your day knowing that you did your best?!
