How To Always Give Your Best

Only your best is good enough...
                          Oracabessa Primary School Motto

Sometimes you want to give up. Sometimes I want to give up. Sometimes I want to give only half of my potential as I fear the returns will not be worth it.

Sometimes, despite the little voice in my head telling me that “they won’t appreciate what I am doing anyway”, I keep going.

I am relentless, I am stubborn, I believe in giving my best.

If you are like me, an ”all-or-nothinger”, then follow these tips when the will to go is at the lowest.

• Look at what you have already accomplished as a motivation.
• Look at what is left to do as a challenge.
• Imagine your grandma is watching you proudly from the sidelines.
• Promise yourself a treat like a massage or a new item of clothing. Practice not rewarding yourself for unfinished tasks.
• Don’t start anything you don’t like to do. Enjoyment is motivation in itself.

Sometimes we pressure ourselves to finish in first. We can all be first, but we can all do our personal best. Do not give up of your dream, your hopes or your attempts to improve.

Do your best. In the end, it is really all that counts.
