Bring your best

Do you ever find yourself, while in the middle of an activity, wanting to get it over with as soon as possible? Do you then move on to whatever is next and find yourself longing to get that over with as well?

Envision a different approach. Think of how it would be if you could simply allow yourself to enjoy and find fulfillment in whatever you’re doing at the moment.

When you fight against your current situation, the situation tends to fight back. Efforts that could otherwise be pleasant and satisfying turn into exasperating struggles.

What you bring to each moment has a powerful influence on how you experience that moment. So it makes good sense to bring the best of yourself.

You cannot immediately change the fact that you are where you are, doing what you must do. What you can change is your attitude, and that will make all the difference.

Rather than seeking to get it over with, focus on getting it done well, on finding and optimizing the value of your experience. Bring your best to the moment, and you’re sure to gain good things from it.
