Doing Our Best
Personal Satisfaction

Your best is always good enough, because it comes from you, and you are always good enough.

We often come into contact with the idea that our best isnt good enough, as if this were actually possible. If you examine this notion, you will begin to see that it doesnt make much sense. Your best is always good enough, because it comes from you, and you are always good enough. You may not be able to deliver someone elses idea of the best, but the good news is thats not your burden. You only need to fulfill your own potential, and as long as you remain true to that calling, and always do your best to fulfill your purpose, you dont need to expect anything more from yourself.

Its easy to get tangled up with the idea of trying to be the bestthe best parent, the best employee, the best child, or best friend. If we try to be the best, we run the risk of short-circuiting our originality because we are striving to fit into someone elses vision of success. In addition, if everyone is striving for the same outcome, we lose out on creativity, diversity, and visionary alternatives to the way things are done. On another note, there is nothing wrong with wanting to improve, but examining where this feeling comes from is important because wanting to be better than others is our ego coming into play.

Letting go of the tendency to hold ourselves up to other peoples standards, and letting go of the belief that we need to compete and win, doesnt mean we dont believe in doing the best job we can. We always strive to do our best, because when we do we create a life free of regret, knowing we have performed to the best of our ability. This allows us to feel great personal satisfaction in all of our efforts, regardless of how others perceive the outcome.
