Chasing?
Why do we need to do our best? I had this interesting convo with my brother.
Seems like a simple answer but its not. Motives can cloud the purity and power of effort.
Are you doing well to please others or are you doing it for yourself?
I honestly believe that with the right motives, more effort yields a higher quality of results. The more effort and energy you put into something, allows you to have more of an opportunity to eliminate regrets, cover all bases and reduce your margin of error. Thus a better end product. When you attack that goal with your all and fail, you can at least say I did my absolute best. Thats healthy, thats closure. And that emotional closure gives you the stamina to try again!
Don’t lose sight of what you love-eat, drink, breathe and live it.
