Your best effort is all that is required of you from "summary" of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz,Janet Mills
It is important to remember that you are not perfect, and you never will be. Perfection is an impossible standard that only leads to frustration and disappointment. Instead, focus on doing your best in every moment, knowing that your best will vary depending on the circumstances. Your best effort is all that is required of you. When you do your best, you are taking responsibility for your actions and choices. You are acknowledging that you have done everything you can in that moment, given your knowledge, skills, and resources. By doing your best, you are honoring yourself and your worth. You are treating yourself with kindness and compassion. It is easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others and feeling like you are not measuring up. However, this comparison is not only unfair to yourself, but it is also unproductive. Each person is unique, with their own strengths and weaknesses. By focusing on doing your best, you are staying true to yourself and your own journey. When you do your best, you are also freeing yourself from the burden of expectations. You are letting go of the need to be perfect or to please others. Instead, you are focusing on what you can control – your own effort and attitude. This sense of freedom allows you to experience joy and fulfillment in everything you do. Remember that doing your best is a practice, not a destination. It is something that you must strive for every day, in every situation. Some days, your best may be more than enough, while other days, it may fall short. That is okay. What matters is that you are committed to giving your all, no matter what. So, as you go through your day, remember that your best effort is all that is required of you. Trust in yourself and in your abilities. Embrace your imperfections and keep moving forward with courage and grace. By doing so, you will live a life of authenticity and fulfillment.
