Better not Best

“Don’t give up because you had a bad day, forgive yourself and do better tomorrow.”

We usually strive to become the Best version of ourselves, often we forget that the best way to achieve this is to become better everyday. Thinking just to be the best might be a little overwhelming. Most things take time to build, but just because we don’t see the finished product right away, it does not mean that we are not getting closer to it. 

Some days we feel like we didn’t accomplish anything, but sometimes this feeling comes due to us looking to see the final product, instead of focusing on the milestones that will get us there.  Instead of becoming the best that we can ever be, we should look to become better than what we were yesterday.

Looking to be better than we were yesterday, sometimes helps us not get unmotivated and be able to keep going until we reach our final destination. This happens because it is easier to achieve multiple smaller goals than just one real big one. 

Also, it is important to get in our heads that winners don’t get there in their first attempt, they fail many times before they can accomplish the goal. It takes time and practice.

It is the same when we are aiming to be the best version of ourselves. Sometimes we are going to fail, but as long as we keep trying to be better every time, we will be getting closer to our final goal.

Every day, we should strive to become better than we where yesterday, not the best. In the end, the goal is to add up every single aspect in which we did improve to in fact get to become the best we have ever been.

This doesn’t mean we can’t keep getting better and better every single day.

Aim to be better not best to achieve your final goal with the following steps:

  1. Divide the main goal into smaller milestones.
  2. Check on your goals daily. See what you can do to accomplish a little extra evrytime.
  3. Know it’s ok to fail somedays, as long as you keep trying.
  4. Be patient with yourself.
  5. Take it one day at a time.
