Always try to do your best at everything. Even if you are choosing to do something you dislike, give it your all.
Anything less and you will ultimately feel you’re letting yourself down. In fact, part of why you talk so negatively to yourself is based on all the private information you have about yourself, the stuff no one else knows.
- How many lies you’ve told
- Where you’ve given half effort
- What you REALLY think about other people
- What you’re afraid others will find out about you
Action – Whatever you do, do it with excellence. Be it a task or conversation, project or practice – make it first class. Go above and beyond and do it with gusto. Otherwise, it just isn’t worth your effort.
You see, only then can your confidence build so you can REALLY live into those standards of excellence you speak of.
