“DOING YOUR BEST” IS BETTER THAN “BEING THE BEST “

You may already have embraced your own ambitious streak. No matter what you’re trying to accomplish, with thousands of other people trying to do the same thing, it surely helps to be driven.  After all, most of the greatest entrepreneurs, politicians, scientists, and artists were perpetually striving to beat their personal best or challenge the status quo.  Yet being driven to succeed should not be confused with the kind of competitive ambition that can consume you.  So, do you need to be competitive with others, and what is the essential difference between “being the best” and “doing your best”?

When I’m simply doing my best, I feel excited rather than anxious.   There is no tension in my body and I feel present and at ease. My heartbeat and breathing are normal, because I’m not in a race

If you try to be the best you, the self-improvement and confidence departments are going to get a serious boost. After all, if you are trying to be the best you, you are improving in some fashion, and this can really build one’s confidence.You improve because you are learning new things, such as traits or knowledge in general. Along the way, your abilities get better and more diverse, and this is a real confidence booster.

You Will Never Think “What If”

When you are trying to be the best you, you are typically chasing your goals and dreams in the process. As a result, you are doing what you want to do. Therefore, you will never think “what if” because you are actually in the process of being a doer.

One of the most important things in life is that you simply show up — that is half the battle. If you want to take things to the next level, then you have to try your best and learn from your experiences, whether if they lead to failure or glory.

Trying to be the best you is going to take time, hard work and commitment, but it is so worth it once you reach the end of your journey.
