Doing the best you can. This statement seemed to play out in my head as I listened to conversations around me recently. It seems as if the need to compete in everything is all around us. If we are not careful, we can measure ourselves against unreasonable expectations.
While it is good to take in what we see around us; it is not good to compare or measure ourselves against others, it can create an unhealthy competition that exists only in your mind. It can make you feel like you are losing.
Breaking the Habit of Comparisons
You may ask, how do I stop doing that. Well, the answer is quite simple. Are you doing the best you can. If the answer is to be yes, then be happy with it. I don’t care if your friends went on four vacations this year if the best you can do is one. Then one it is. Make it a memorable one and keep it moving.
I am not saying that you are not to strive for better or more. I am simply saying that you are to give yourself the credit for what you are doing and simply knowing that you are doing the best you can, should be good enough for you. No one has to live with the decisions you make but you so if you are happy with it then that is what matters.
Decision Making in the Process of Doing the Best You Can
I was speaking to a friend recently about a business decision that they were struggling with. It would mean more money but additional stress. It was also something that they were good at, and the team was grateful to have them join the group. This person eventually decided that it just was not a good decision for them. How to work with Difficult People
Sometimes life is just that simple. In our quest to make others happy we find that we are making decisions that don’t always make us happy. Start today by just knowing that it is your job to make the most of your time on this journey called life. Everything is not for everybody, and you decide what is the best decision for you.
Try not to allow the pressure of others to influence decisions that directly impact you. Remember they will not have to do what they have talked you into. Each day you are given twenty-four hours how and what you choose should always be directed by your principles not others.
Steer Clear of Unhealthy Pressure and Influence while Working towards Doing the Best You Can
Whether you are operating your own business or working for others. Know that you are doing your best. If you are a wife, husband, dad, mom or son or daughter, knowing that you are doing your best is an awesome feeling. Pour that energy into your day as you go about your daily activities. It will impact not only how you feel but your interactions with others.
When someone comes along to compare or compete you are able to shift the conversation to one that is more beneficial knowing that you are doing your best. You can simply reply, “I am happy for so and so…” and mean it. It does not take away from you and your journey. This is growth and maturity in real time. If you are not there don’t despair. We are all a work in progress.
I want to leave you this week to be mindful of how you view yourself. Know that you are doing your best. If you believe you are slacking a little, stretch yourself to do more. Enjoy the journey and until next time my readers continue to ………Live your Dreams out Loud
