You’re Best Is Enough

“Always do your best.”
~ Don Miguel Ruiz ~

This is The Fourth Agreement.

Your best changes every day.

Some days your best is moving mountains. Other days your best is getting out of bed. Both count. Neither one is wrong.

The agreement isn’t to be perfect. It’s to show up fully with what you have — right now, today, in this moment.

When you always do your best, you have nothing to regret. You gave what you had. That’s the whole game.

Thought for the Day
You don’t have to be great to start. But you have to start to be great.
