That's Always Enough
This is a quote out of one of Tony Horton's P90X videos. It is from the Plyometrics workout. (After you purchase the DVD's, pay close attention to find the conversation. Then take notice to whom the line is directed.) In the DVD, Tony instructs one of his workout buddies to do a more challenging move. The fellow replies, "I'll do my best". And Tony says "Did you hear that? Did you hear what he just said? He said he'll do his best. That's always enough."
Do your best. Three simple words.
DO - You have to attempt to do it. Do something...do a workout, do a walk, do a run, do your chores, do your homework. Don't think about doing it. Don't talk about doing it. Don't try to do it. Do it.
YOUR - It has to be done by you. No one else can do it for you. If someone else tried to do it for you, then guess what? They'd be doing it for themselves, not for you. You can't wait for someone else to do it for you. You'll be wasting your life. You need to take charge of it. You need to realize that you are the only one who can make the changes in your life. You and only you.
BEST- This means that as you're doing, you do what you can do. This doesn't mean that you let your mind tell you that you are finished. This means that you let your body tell you that it has had enough. You must do and do it until you are sure you can do no more. This definition of best will change daily, weekly, monthly, yearly...it can even change day to day, but I promise you that if you stick with it, it will always improve. Your best will always get better.
And you know what? That's always enough.
