Our Best Isn't Good Enough
Your best is nothing. OK-- before you say that I'm being hard on you or that I'm encouraging people not to celebrate their gifts+talents+progress, please allow me to explain. This morning I worked out. Hard. I was doing squat jumps and jumping jacks and all sorts of strange maneuvers with my trainer. Then we got to the push-ups. "Go to failure," she instructed. "I don't do anything to failure," I said--only half-joking. And then I got down on my hands. And gave it my best. I pushed out maybe 40 push-ups and then stopped. It's like my chest and arms just froze up as I reached the edge of my strength. "Now go for more," she said. And guess what. I gave 15 more.
So here's the point that I'm messily trying to make: often, we push to our best and fall into the trap of thinking this is all we have within us. But the truth is: that's just our mental limits at play. We have more. We can do more. We can push out more. And we can become more. Your best is nothing. So today, play big. Or go home.
