<\/div>

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always looked up to my dad. He\u2019s a passionate entrepreneur, a great dad and one of those people, who, more often than not, knows the right thing to say.\u00a0 Over the years he has \u2018gifted\u2019 me with words of wisdom on everything from business to relationships, parenting to decision-making.\u00a0 There\u2019s one piece of advice, however, that I probably rely on the most.<\/p>\n

Do your best every day. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you how many times I\u2019ve called my father worried about something that happened, concerned about an outcome or second-guessing myself.\u00a0 And my dad predictably responds with a question. \u201cDid you do your best?\u201d\u00a0 <\/em>Yes.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s all you can do\u201d, he says \u201cYou can\u2019t control what happens from here\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s it? Simple, right?\u00a0 But if you really<\/em> stop to think about it, this supposedly simple piece of advice has the power to help you be happier, more fulfilled and yes, even more successful.\u00a0 How?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When you do your best every day, you feel <\/em>better about yourself.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can rest at ease knowing you did everything you could.\u00a0 That you have no regrets and nothing about which to feel bad or guilty.\u00a0 If you do your best<\/em> and then someone criticizes you, or doesn\u2019t like what you did, tells you you\u2019re working too slow\u2026or fast, or gives you a hard time, it\u2019s easier to brush off when you know in your heart you did the best you can.\u00a0 There is a lot of peace to be found in that.<\/p>\n

    Likewise, if you do the best you can and you\u2019re <\/em>not happy with the result or it doesn\u2019t work out the way you expected, you can be at peace, knowing <\/em>you did your best and there\u2019s nothing else you could have done, especially now that it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n

    I ask my clients (and myself) this question all the time.\u00a0 Whether they\u2019re ruminating over something they\u2019ve said, thinking about what they could have done better, or just disappointed about an outcome they had hoped to achieve. \u00a0Did you do your best?<\/em>\u00a0 If the answer is Yes, then it\u2019s time to move forward onto something more productive.<\/p>\n

    Now, let\u2019s be clear.\u00a0\u00a0 This doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t try to do better, to learn, strive, improve and change.\u00a0\u00a0 These things are still important for our growth and evolution.\u00a0 But if we can think about those things in the context of next time<\/em>, you\u2019ll probably see more results than if you \u2018beat yourself up\u2019.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve done your best, there\u2019s nothing more to <\/em>do. \u00a0You can\u2019t change the past, you can only let the past influence your future.\u00a0 <\/em>You can let the \u2018should haves\u2019, \u2018would haves\u2019 and \u2018could haves\u2019 fall away and save them for what you can do next time<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    2. When you do your best every day, you achieve <\/em>more.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

    This makes sense, right?\u00a0 Do your best, good stuff happens.\u00a0 Don\u2019t do your best, less happens.\u00a0 And others know when you\u2019re doing your best or not.<\/p>\n

    My dad shares a story of his father, my grandfather.\u00a0 One summer during the depression, he and three of his college buddies worked for JC Penny.\u00a0\u00a0 Towards the end of the summer, the store ran out of job-related work for them.\u00a0 So, they asked the boys to wash windows.\u00a0 My grandfather washed the windows, every day, doing the best he could and working hard.\u00a0 The other three boys complained that wasn\u2019t what they were hired to do, were frustrated by the request and decided they would wash the windows slower, so that the work would last the rest of the summer.\u00a0 They phoned it in.\u00a0 But my grandfather just kept on washing, figuring, if he ran out of windows, they would find another job for him, or let him go early.\u00a0 \u00a0This wasn\u2019t just about hard work, it was about doing his best work regardless of the circumstances.<\/p>\n

    The following summer, they all went back to apply for jobs again.\u00a0 \u00a0Guess what happened?\u00a0 Yep, the three guys who slowed down didn\u2019t get rehired.\u00a0 But my grandfather did.\u00a0 His work ethic had left a lasting impression on his boss.<\/p>\n

    Why wouldn\u2019t <\/em>you do your best? \u00a0Doing your best doesn\u2019t cost you anything more.\u00a0 In fact, it probably requires less time and energy than figuring out a way around or through or over something.\u00a0 Let\u2019s face it, when you\u2019re not<\/em> doing your best, it\u2019s draining.\u00a0 You have to think<\/em> about it.\u00a0 It takes more effort.\u00a0 And, whether or not you realize it, at some level, you feel bad and guilty, because you know <\/em>it\u2019s not working.\u00a0 You may think you\u2019re fooling others, but you can never fool yourself!<\/p>\n

    It doesn\u2019t matter how much someone pays you or how important the job or the person is.\u00a0 You can do your best everyday regardless of the circumstances. \u00a0Now, I\u2019m not advocating doing a job you hate or doing it for less compensation than is appropriate.\u00a0 In those cases, the best option is usually to look for something else.\u00a0 But staying there <\/em>and not doing your best, shouldn\u2019t be an option.\u00a0 Because if you\u2019re going to be there, <\/em>wherever there<\/em> is, you might as well be there<\/em> completely.\u00a0 Otherwise, you\u2019re just wasting your time and energy.\u00a0\u00a0 And someone else\u2019s money and resources.<\/p>\n

    Doing your best every day, regardless of who\u2019s watching, whether it\u2019s your \u2018role\u2019 or not or whether you\u2019re head over heels in love with what you\u2019re doing will make you more productive, successful and healthy.<\/p>\n

    3. When you do your best every day, you see the world differently<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    What if when you\u2019re doing your best every day, you start to believe that others are giving their all too? This is a form of cognitive bias, where we see things that confirm our own existing beliefs.<\/p>\n

    I like to believe we are all<\/em> doing our best every day.\u00a0 The best we can with what we have<\/em> \u2013 at that moment, in that situation, with that time frame, our level of skills and knowledge, you name it.<\/p>\n

    Sometimes we have the skills or emotional intelligence or strategies to handle something better, sometimes we don\u2019t.\u00a0 But everyday, we are ALL doing the best we can with what we have.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Now, our best might be better tomorrow.\u00a0 And some days, our best isn\u2019t as good as it was the day before.\u00a0 That\u2019s ok.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to remind yourself, you are doing the best you can with what you have, right now.<\/em>\u00a0 Let\u2019s be honest, none of us wake up wanting to mess it up, screw it up or make a fool out of ourselves!<\/p>\n

    When you look at the world through this lens, you realize, that in most cases, everyone else<\/em> IS also probably doing the best they can with what they have<\/em>.\u00a0 So, when that colleague doesn\u2019t email you back, instead of assuming he\u2019s an incompetent jerk, you might think twice that he\u2019s busy or he\u2019s gathering more information, so he can respond to you.\u00a0 Or when a friend is a bit curt when you run into her at a coffee shop, you might think she\u2019s having a rough day, not that she\u2019s making a personal attack on you.\u00a0 When your spouse forgets something\u2026again\u2026you can ask yourself, \u201cAre they doing the best they can, today, with what they have?\u201d If they are, then maybe you can respond with a bit more kindness and a little more compassion.<\/p>\n

    So, how do you know you\u2019ve done your best?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s important how you judge your <\/em>best.\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s keeping score.\u00a0 I ran 10 minutes today, I can run 12 tomorrow.\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s a \u2018gut check\u2019.\u00a0 Did I do the best I knew how to do?<\/em> Really?<\/p>\n

    Now, you may be wondering,<\/strong> will accepting I\u2019ve done my best make me lazy, less ambitious, less driven?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Actually, I feel it\u2019s just the opposite.\u00a0 Acknowledging when you\u2019ve done your best (and when you haven\u2019t) gives you the freedom to focus on what to improve or change for\u00a0 next time<\/em>, and stops you from wasting precious time, energy and resources ruminating on something that is already in the past and you can\u2019t control or change.<\/p>\n

    We\u2019re all learning, growing and evolving.\u00a0 Every day.\u00a0 That\u2019s life.\u00a0 And, my experience with clients and friends is that we are also pretty hard on ourselves.\u00a0 So, whether you find yourself ruminating about a mistake, beating yourself up for something you said, wishing you could change something that\u2019s already happened or worrying about what might.<\/p>\n

    Ask yourself this question.\u00a0 Did I do the best that I could? <\/em>If the answer is a resounding \u201cYes\u201d.\u00a0 Give yourself permission to let go, move on and use your time, energy and emotion to move forward towards your next<\/em>, knowing you did the best that you could.\u00a0\u00a0 After all, as my Dad says, \u201cThat\u2019s all you can do, you can\u2019t control what happens from here\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n
