“We do our best that we know how at the moment, and if it doesn't turn out, we modify it.” ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt quotes (American 32nd US President (1933-45)
What are the expectations I have for myself and am I meeting them? Sometimes I set my expectations too high. I look too far down the road and the goal become unattainable. Those are the times I give up. I quit the diet, stop knitting the ten foot scarf, hide all the equipment I brought to become a sushi chef or stop writing my memoirs. You see, I always expect I’ll be the best rather than realizing I’m doing my best. Celebrating the small hour to hour victories is all I can handle some days. This week I am learning to have compassion for myself. I’m realizing that doing my best at any moment is all I can expect. If you like me believe in the laws of cause and effect, you won’t do what you shouldn’t do. If you can do something you must do it to the best of your ability. This is the formula for being your best. I've read that being your best changes from day to day. Your best is different when you’re ill, tired, rested, happy or sad. So instead of beating myself up when my best changes, I’ll give myself a pass and be my best again in the next hour.
