We have all heard, “Always do your best.” Whether it came from our parents or a teacher doing our best has always been a challenge throughout our lives. But what does doing your best really mean? And is it even possible to always do your best?

'Do Your Best, and God Will Do the Rest'

Trying your best is always a great way to encourage and motivate people but it is also very helpful to yourself.

The point is, that you just have to live each and every moment with the intention of giving your all to the present, whatever that entails. You can’t do your best if you are worried that you could be doing better, otherwise you are no different than a dog chasing its tail!

Doing your best is not about meeting expectations or achievements. It isn’t about success or failure, It is about putting all your energy into whatever life situation you are currently experiencing.

Your best doesn’t mean trying to do more than you’re capable of in the moment. Doing more than your best depletes your

personal energy. But doing less than your best leaves you with guilt and regret.

Investing all your energy into the moment and away from thinking about how the moment could be better is a practice that will improve all areas of your life.

If you always invest all your energy you have into conscious life and away from the unconscious mind then you will always be doing your best. Don’t fear that you won’t do as well as you want or you will succumb to those fears.

By staying in the moment and becoming fully present your mind begins to fear the future and harp on the past less and less. You become less dependent on external validation. You spend less time setting expectations and more time actually doing the things that will lead you towards achieving your goals.

When you always do your best, you will be amazed by the results. It is a program for living that progresses the more you work it.
