I have this motto in my life, "try your best". Its giving and being my best in everything, every single day. I truly feel like everybody always does their best. No matter what we are all trying our best. Some days we don't even have to think about it but there are always other days when we really don't feel like trying to give or be at our best.
Whether I am setting personal goals, trying to achieve my goals or conquering my fears or just going about doing whatever life throws at me, I will always try my best. I feel no matter whatever life has thrown our way, be it big obstacles or small ones, we are all doing the best we can to cope. Can we try harder and do better, absolutely.
When I try my best in everything, I know that I have given it my all even in times when I don't feel like doing my best. I don't expect anything in return just because I have given or tried my best. I just do my best and let the rest go. It's important not to expect anything in return especially if you are doing your best but maybe someone else is not even trying.
I have been trying to loose 15 pounds for the last 2 months and whenever I step on the scale, my weight has been the same. I know the scale in probably not a good measure since I may have put on more muscle. I do feel good and strong though but I still do need to lose some fat. So I try my best to make sure that I do everything right between eating right and exercising and I am sure with time, the weight will come off.
Doing my best is showing up at the gym every morning at 5:15a.m, however, I can try harder at my workouts and push harder as well. I feel maybe my best in the gym has been borderline.
I try my best to even be a better parent every single day, every hour and minute. When I wake up in the morning, I started saying to myself that no matter what I will try my best. Yesterday I was not at my best when my kids did not eat well for lunch so today I decided that if they do not eat well again, I will take a different approach. Instead of letting it get to me, I will speak and educate them about eating right and well everyday for their growing brains and bodies.
I always tell my kids, just try your best, do the hard work and prepare for your school, put in your best effort for your homework and don't worry about anything else. It's important for them to know that just because homework is not mandatory that does not mean they should not try to do their best. They should always learn to put the best effort in everything and not worry about the rest. That comes on its own.
The "try my best" approach is towards every role that I have, as a wife, a daughter, sister, friend and even co worker. The hard part is when I am not having a good day, or not had good sleep , then my other "tired self" takes over and tries to beat down the "try my best self". The challenge then is to remind myself that no matter what or how I am feeling, I will do my best in everything.
Normally if the person or situation I am dealing with is challenging it's always harder to still try to do your best in being the better person but if you can keep reminding yourself and work with the situation or person and your emotions, then it does tend to make it easier and sometimes dissolve the problem altogether.
I feel like since you give it your best, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You are more in control and at the end, you will have fewer regrets, if any because you know that you have done everything in your power to control the situation or remedy it. One can only control oneself and you can't control others in their reaction or the way they are.
The only thing that I can do or anyone can do is their best are we are. We have to remind ourselves that we are all trying. Even if you are on in a job that you don't love, or a relationship that's having issues, try your best to do everything in your power to do the right thing for you. It's a lot easier said than done since we as humans, tend to do things that may please others, or let our emotions get the better of us. But try your best my friends.
Coming back to my weight loss issues, I know that I have been overeating and my metabolism has really slowed down as I get older.but that's not to say that I should give up altogether. Maybe it will take a lot longer, but try my best I will. That's all anyone of us can do.
No matter how ever many times, you have had your heart broken or dealing with weight issues or anything that life throws us, we must continue to feed our soul and we feed it and take care of it but always trying our best. Don't worry about the end results, that will come when it does. If you stay stuck on the result, you will lose out on the way. If I remained stuck on the 15 pounds, I will lose my focus on the other benefits I get on the way like feeling healthier and stronger.
Lately, I have not been meditating as I used to. Not that I did much before but I used to give it a try for 5-10 mins everyday. It's important to me, so now I am going to try my best to find the 5-10 mins to meditate. Given its important to me, making that effort is not going to be difficulty.
I always need to remind myself that the only thing within my control is me and that is good enough to always want to try my best in everything. It's all in the amount of effort you put in everything and if you do, the rewards will come by itself. I have faith that it will. I will give my best effort to be the best mom to my kids, the best effort in all of my everyday roles.
Remember don't get stuck. If you are stuck anywhere in your life, try your best to get out. That may mean taking any number of difficult or not difficult steps but don't just remain there.
Whatever the outcome will be, the effort will always pay off. It may not be immediate but your soul will thank you for this, knowing that you tried your best.
Always here to cheer your best self friends. Keep moving on!!
Wish you love my friends!!!
Peace,
Monita
