Two Self-based Secrets to Be the Best at Everything

We humans always crave for being the best in the world. However, it needs to be clear that whether you want to ‘be the best in the world’ or just ‘be the best’. There is much difference in both the desires/goals; the former one involves comparing yourself with the rest in the world and struggling to be ‘better’ than them in futile. On the contrary, the latter involves peeping inside your own self and analyzing whether I gave my best shot or could I give a better one. In reality, the latter one is our goal because no competition in this world is 100% fair. In each race of life, every competitor has its own limitations and restrictions, which result in different capabilities and characteristics. Had the limitations and restrictions being the same, one can expect to be the best of all. Because they vary from one competitor to another, no particular participant can prove to be the best in the group. That is why it is best to ‘be the best’ by giving the best shot instead of doing better than everyone else. This is practically within the reach of all of us. For that, you will need to make ‘excellence’ your habit, not an act. Habits are formed only through strong determination that is then supported by repeated, intentional action. A strong determination is the second secret to give your best shot at everything! The unbroken determination of ‘Yes, I will do my best no matter what comes ahead’ makes situations come in your favor although they may be adverse before. The source of determination, believing in oneself, marks the first secret, which is usually in the form of “Yes! I am capable of doing it”. Let us accept that we cannot be the best at everything we do, but we can give our best shot in all that we do! This makes life simpler and happier.
