I firmly believe that everyone has the potential to be the best that they can be. I want everyone around me to try their best.
But.
Your ‘best’ self is hugely effected by your lifestyle. For instance, when females are on their period they actually can’t lift as heavy. So in that sense they are doing the best that they can do in that moment. But their best is not as good as their normal ‘best’.
So what do we do? Do we force someone to try harder? Do we beat ourselves up for not reaching our PB?
No. Fuck that. I’m done with that. I’m done with beating myself up. I’m done seeing others beat them self up for not being able to do it all.
I think the key to improving your ‘best’ self is to start from the bottom.
Are your key life pillars holding strong? Or are you weak from your foundations?
Question yourself. Question your life. Question your choices. Question your priorities. Are you depressed about your life? Is it because deep down your current lifestyle does not complement the values and desires you have? Why don’t they?
You need to dig deeper. Dig as deep as you can go. What are you afraid of? What’s holding you back? Abandonment? Rejection? Death?
I believe in you. I believe you have the chance to be better than where you are now.
I believe you can change your life. If only you try.
So take a step back for a second. Sit down with yourself and get back to your roots. Question every single inch of your day. Are there places that could be altered to improve your life? Start there. Make a plan. Set an attainable goal. One step at a time transform your life so that next time you try your ‘best’ you are actually so much better than you even realised you could be.
So the question is… do you want to be a better version of you? Or do you want to be stuck here in a forever cycle of wanting to be better than you are now but never finding a way out?
