RE: Does "Doing Your Best" REALLY Matter?
I think a lot of the 'attraction' etc has to do with attitude and how you feel about yourself.
I'm a naturally positive person. I feel good about myself and have high self esteem and confidence. So, as you suggest, I tend to be around people like that. I also try to extend that feeling to others, so they feel the same way - building them up, not cutting them down.
Being the best you can be, at least for me, is not so much being the best writer I can be, or the best programmer I can be. It's being the best person I can be.
That required ambition, a goal, focus, effort. The payoff is that I'm a better person today than I was yesterday.
And I think that's a good thing. :-)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.... and agreed, being the best person is definitely of great importance, and when you do that it is also reflected in your actions. To me, it's also a two-way situation, because if I do something really well and can genuinely stand back and feel good about the accomplishment, I also feel better about me on an overall level... so I experience the two having a synergistic "relationship."
Exactly :-)
It becomes a positive spiral. You do better, so you feel better, so you do better.....
It's like anti-depression :-)
