Do your best

Today you will have multiple opportunities to use your skills and talents. Are you planning to give a half-hearted effort to the tasks at hand or will you give it your best? People will ask, "How do I know it is my best?" The question can be answered by knowing what your skills and talents are. What is it that you do that seems almost effortless? Perhaps it is solving technical problems, listening to others, or composing a letter to a disgruntled customer. Along the way have you learned other skills in which you display competence? Knowing your strengths helps you to identify what your best looks like. It is the optimization of these skills and talents when performing tasks throughout the day. It is resistance to a "good enough" job that just squeaks by what is needed to make a difference. When you do your best there is an internal sense of accomplishment. This is the Universe's pat on the back to you for a job well done. When was the last time you did your best and what can you do today to add to that list?
