Contribution

I heard a statement on talk radio the other day that I really loved.

It was.."Don't just do your best. Win."

I love this. I have this annoying personality that is opposite of my counterpart that is never satisfied. I have a hard time settling. He has made me better, but I still am always going going. Thinking that there is always something more to be done, always a way to do it better. I am OCD or something where I think things could always be better. Cleaner, taken better care of, reading more books, being smarter, taking more classes, getting better grades, being less lazy, etc. So I love this quote because I believe in it. I don't think we should be doing our best. I think we should win. Stop being such lazy asses and win. I think doing your best is often an excuse for just being plain lazy. If we didn't succeed, well we did our best right?

I started to reply to this but it got so long I decided I'd blog about it on my site, Life of Lizzen. Check it out if you're so inclined.

That's my number one excuse. What am I going to do if I can't just aim for "my best?"

Anyway, I know I don't do my best all the time, but I really dislike my life when I am exerting 100% effort all the time. I need some power down time to enjoy my life.
