Hello Paul - that's quite the quote. I think the photo you chose to accompany it, may lead to greater inspiration.  All in all, an excellent pairing.  Again.  Cheers!

I would say that most of the time I am giving my best effort but have to admit that there are times when I want to do absolutely nothing and be content with it, haha.

Good morning Paul,

Good morning Paul. Something to ponder over a cup of coffee. Your abilities are a gift that is only good if you do your best. Enjoy your day.

Paul, I have always believed you get what you put out.   If it isn't your BEST, you get less than what you want.

Paul, Of course this applies to athletes like the author, but everyone can and should apply this in their own lives ~

I remember the quote about leaving it all on the field, likewise this quote is similar. I am a big believer in expecting to receive what I put in to something. As I want the best return, then I guess I must put the best in.

Those are wise words, Paul.  I hadn't pondered personal gifts in that way.  I need to ponder it more.

What a great quote Paul!  Kind of sounds like my Mom used to say in a different way.  Do your best or don't even begin!   Go for the gusto - more fun in that sauce!!
