Strive . . . . to Do Your Very Best

“I was taught to strive not because they were any guarantees of

success, but because the act of striving is in itself the only

way to keep faith with life .”

Madeleine Albright, United States Secretary of State

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Strive . . . . to do your very best

 

There may not be guarantees in life . . . . but there are truths in life.

 

Truth #1 . . . . When your committed and determined to achieve your goals  . . . .  You will find a way to successfully achieve them.

 

Truth #2 . . . . The person without goals . . . . has no beacon to guide them . . . . and their career will lack a sense of focused direction. Their best never comes to the surface because . . . . They can’t define their purpose . . . . and they won’t have a clear target to aim for.

 

Truth #3 . . . . You will bring your very best to the surface when you can verbalize your goals in writing  . . . . And you make the commitment . . . . to yourself that you will achieve them.

 

Truth #4 Striving to do your very best . . . . elevates your standards and expectations to a higher level.

 

Truth #5 There are no guarantees in life . . . . but you put odds in you favor to succeed . . . . when you strive . . . . to do your very best in the things you do.

If we're not striving to go anywhere or be anything then what exactly is our purpose? We should all be striving for something!
