Here's something that really bugs me: The way we are always told to be The Best. I grew up thinking that I had to always excel at everything. And when that inevitably proved impossible, it made me feel like a failure – also another lie. It took a long time to realize that sometimes it's best to be, well, ordinary, average, or somewhere in the middle. And that helped me see my weight and my fitness goals in a new light. It isn't necessary to have the best figure, perform the most reps, or sweat the most during my most awesome workout routine. What really matters? Taking action every day to get where we want to be. We don't thrive by always being The Best. We thrive by making our best effort on a consistent basis – right along with everybody else who's trying.
