“Do the best you can until you know better.
Then when you know better, do better.”
Maya Angelou
The bottom line is this: be the best version of yourself in this moment.
We want to have a life’s purpose. We set long term goals. The BIG
PICTURE. This is good, it is great to have a master plan, but the bottom
line is the best way to have a sense of purpose, to reach our life’s goals
is to simply be the best version of ourselves in this given moment. Am
I being the best version of myself right now? Let this question guide
our every decision. Our every act. Constantly pause and ask yourself,
am I being the best version of myself in this moment. It does not
matter if you are doing a push-up or going to meet with the President.
Am I the best version of myself today? Right here, right now in what
I am doing. This may mean helping the person right in front of you or
placed in your path. Putting your best effort forth on this lap around
the track, rep at the gym, presentation to management, whatever the
task at hand be the best version of yourself in the moment. Make the
most of your time. Saying no when you know you should. Doing the
right thing. Helping when you should help. Whatever project you are
working on, no matter how petty you perceive it at the time, simply
do your best. Be who you are. Be who you know you should be. Be
the best version of yourself at this moment and you will find the best
version of yourself just keeps getting better and better.
