It’s about you!

Do you think the #1 pole vaulter in the world even knows who the #1 juggler in the world is?

Does the highest paid cricket player in the world have any idea how much the highest paid toothpaste ad man makes?

Does the world’s most renowned microbiologist have an inkling of who the world’s most renowned sous-chef is?

The answer to all of these questions (I’m 99.9% sure, can’t be 100% because the cricket player and toothpaste guy could be neighbors, you never know) is NO WAY!

The point is, if we scratch and claw to become the best in order to compare ourselves to others, the amount of people we can even compare ourselves to is minuscule when we think of the world as a whole.

We should all strive to be the best we can be at whatever we choose to do (and that doesn’t have to mean a job, or a sport, we can be the best dad/husband/wife/son/friend that WE can be).

But we should NEVER try to be the best in comparison to anyone else.

Because the fact of the matter is, we can never be the best anything besides our best selves!

Happy Tuesday!

At being you!

Check in with yourself (and fuzzle wuzzle?)

A great thing to do throughout your day, take a moment to say to yourself “I am doing the best I can in this moment, and I also know I can do better :).” (Adapted from The Miracle Morning book)

Be happy in the now with big dreams of the future.

Also know that NOONE can do exactly what you do, because it is utterly true, there is only one of you. (That sounded a little Dr. Seuss-ish, you can throw a fuzzle wuzzle in there for good measure.)
