The Courageous Life

Practicing Courage #39: Rethinking the timeless advice to 'always do your best'


Listen Later

Always do your best.

When I was growing up I heard that a lot.

"Just do your best."

"Leave it all on the field."

Or some similar version of that message.

It seemed like a generally positive and empowering message.

An invitation to show up fully and give it my all.

I was on board.

But what I didn’t realize was that this message was incomplete.

It was missing an important piece.

Today we'll explore what was missing.

The piece, that when leveraged, makes this a much more potent practice.

Thank you for your practice today.

I look forward to continuing together next Thursday!

-Joshua
