Sometimes you think that no-one notices… be your best anyway.
Sometimes everyone around you just goes through the motions… be your best anyway.
Sometimes your job seems pointless and menial… be your best anyway.
Sometimes you can get away with less… be your best anyway.
Sometimes you just don’t feel like it… be your best anyway.
Sometimes even your average is better than the best of others… be your best anyway.
Sometimes you feel as though your circumstances have conspired against you, giving you the perfect excuse to underachieve… be your best anyway.
Mother Teresa once said, “Give the best you have and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.”
In all circumstance, at all times, whatever it is you’re doing. Be your best!
There are enough people in the world who are content with average.
Don’t let that be you.
Set the bar higher.
We need your very best!

Yes, sir, Coach Darren! Two very important people will know when I have done my best, even though no one is looking: myself and God!
