We have always been told to never give less than our best. It’s not the easiest thing to do. I tell my kids that all the time. If there was a theme song that would follow them because of what I would say to them it would be “Simply the best” by Tina Turner. We have to believe this about ourselves not because we are being conceited but because we must believe in ourselves. If we don’t who will? At the end of the day do you give less than your best. My mother always said do your best with everything. She didn’t expect me to push myself to the point of breaking but to do my best always. My best might not seem great to you but it’s my best try.
I continued in my mother’s footsteps in how I deal with my children. Yes I would push them but not to the level where they are on the verge of breaking. All I need to know that they are putting out the best they can. All I can do is put out my best as an example to them. After all children live what they learn.
As I was writing I realized that the concept of less than can also be looked at in another way. I am sure you know or have met persons that try to make you feel less than. Sometimes it’s done deliberately, sometimes by gaslighting or it’s just what they do without knowing it. How do you push back against those making you feel less than? Do you just ignore and pray they just disappear or do you stand up and be heard and seen? I have found out you don’t ignore because if you do they will continue because it’s meant to take you down a peg or two or more if they can. Why would someone decide that they don’t want you to do what you might consider your prerogative? Could it be that they are just plain bullies? Sometimes they are bullies and others are know it alls that feel the world revolves around them. Always know you have to ensure you protect yourself from those that’s would want to make you feel less than.
Let me know what you think, I really want to know and I sure others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. It could also spawn another blog. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife #faithgreaterthanfear
