"Life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our best"
-H Jackson Brown Jr
Often times we aim to be the best, to surpass everyone else, to go above and beyond expectations. But because of this, we give ourselves an overwhelmingly high standard that hinders our growth. This standard leaves no room for mistakes, no room for thinking outside the box, no room for mindfulness. It simply operates as reaching an objective that is actually an abstract concept. After all, we are never 100% satisfied with ourselves or anything we do. We always search for faults in ourselves and what we do. Some people can and will spend a lifetime trying to "perfect", "correct", or "fix" certain aspects of themselves. Instead of trying to be "the best" we should strive to be the best version of ourselves we can be.
