What does it mean to do your best?

If you are doing your best, you will be happier than when you are not doing your best. We are here to do our best, not to do our worst. If you do your best, you will get the best. If you do your worst, you will reap your worst.

No matter where you are and what you are doing, try to always be the best, think the best, act the best, and live the best. That is the only way to a successful life.

You cannot be the best if you continue to do bad things. Remember, bad things cannot give you want you want. Only good things can give you what you want.

According to H. Jackson Brown, Jr., “If you are doing your best, you won’t have anytime to worry about failure.”

That is right.

If you are really, really doing your best in life and at work, you won’t have anytime to:

Worry about your failures.

Worry about your mistakes.

Please people who are not pleasing you.

Love people who are not loving you.

Be around people who are not thinking in positive ways.

Waste your time on things that are not helping you get better in life

Think about what others are thinking about you

Think negatively about the things that are not working well for you.

Doing your best allows you to ignore these things. If you can ignore them, the better and healthier and happier your life will be.

Ignore them!

Are You Afraid Of Failure?

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”- Paulo Coelho

Most people don’t succeed in life because they don’t want to fail. They want to be ready before they start. Remember, you cannot be perfect before you start something that will change your life; you have to start to be perfect.

Peter Drucker said, “Wherever there is success, there has to be failure.” You cannot succeed without first learning how to fail. John Maxwell wrote a book about how to fail forward. If you want to succeed in life, in your business, in your career, in your relationships, you have to be comfortable with failing forward. Failing forward is good. Failing backward is bad.

Don’t be afraid of failure. If you want to succeed, you cannot avoid failure. Successful people know how to fail forward. They love failing, because it shows them what to do next, what to learn, and how to move forward. Dell Crossword said, “Success is not permanent, neither is failure.” Failure is not permanent. Success is not permanent. If you fail, don’t make it permanent. Failure has lessons to teach you. It is not here to destroy you.

How To Conquer Fear Of Failure

If you want to conquer fear of failure, do the following things:

  • Know that if you want to succeed, failure is unavoidable
  • Do what you fear. Take more risks
  • Try things that you have not tried before. Begin small.
  • Don’t start with the hard things; they will increase your fear. Start with small things to build your confidence.
  • Reach out to people who have done the same thing that you are about to start.
  • Know yourself. Know what you can handle. Know when to say enough is enough.
  • When you succeed at overcoming your fear, keep doing what works for you.
  • Never give up. You will fail, but never give up.

Finally, according to Jim Rohn, “One of the reasons why we fail to find happiness or to create unique lifestyle is because we have not yet mastered the art of being.”
