‘The Best You Can Do’
Here are a few questions worth asking ourselves:
- Are we selling and working as if we have only this day to achieve our targeted goal?
- Is accomplishing our required minimum quota a ‘need’ – or merely a ‘want’?
- Are we ‘owning’ our results – or seeking to find reasons and fault outside of ourselves?
- What are TWO things you can do right now, today, to move yourself forward toward your goal?
One of my favorite expressions is this: “The best you can do, is the best you can do.”
Throughout my career and coaching life I’ve heard this misused quite often as an excuse for failure. I’ve watched others carry this as a fatalistic viewpoint of their ineffectiveness and inability to control their circumstances. I’ve also had the fantastic opportunity to observe those True Champions which embrace this as their personal mantra. I’ve seen them press onward, every day, with a sincerity of purpose that nothing but their very best is required – at all times – and in all circumstances.
Regardless of our intent. Regardless of our stance or belief system. Regardless of our circumstances – both professional and personal.
We, each of us individually, own our results.
I have asked you all for your best. Your best is truly and accurately shown in your results. Check your stats and the leaderboard one more time. This is who you are. This is what you are doing, what you have done. This is what you are proven to be capable of, right now. This is real.
Here’s the GREAT NEWS: This represents only this moment, and a snapshot of the past.
Is this result discouraging to you? Do you want a change?
Do you believe you are better than this result?
Simply Change.
Take Massive Action NOW and make it different. You decide. Don’t let it happen, make it happen.
We have but this one opportunity, every day, in everything we do.
Make this your BEST day.
