Everyone wants to be the best. Who would say no to that? Most don’t do the first thing to even try. They want to be the best but getting out of bed in the morning is a chore. If that’s the case, this isn’t for you.
This is for the ones who do the work. They love the journey. And then the time comes to be the best one and they don’t understand that they actually have to do it. They actually have to step into the spotlight. It’s not just going to find them. They have to do more than everyone else. They have to take more risks. They have to actually be the best one.
Is it enough to say that you worked really hard? Is it enough to say you spent a lot of time? If you’re not willing to go out there and show it, does any of it really even matter? Being the best means taking chances that others don’t get to take because they haven’t done what you’ve done. It means taking more responsibility for what happens than everyone else because you’ve equipped yourself with the tools to do that. You might fail on the first attempt. And then again and again. But don’t forget, that’s the same thing you did when you first started. Now it’s just a different challenge. You will get criticized. People will talk about you. The thing is, that’s going to happen anyway.
If you’re the best one, that power is in your hands. If you don’t use it, you’re no better than the worst one. In fact, it’s selfish of you if you’re the best and you’re not giving that to others around you.
Or is there something still holding you back? Deep down do you know that you should be doing more or doing something different and therefore, you really aren’t ready to be the best one yet? Well, then get to work.
It’s hard being the best, but if you are, then be the best. You don’t have to say it. If others know then they know. They want you to do it, because they know they aren’t there yet. So do it. It will give them more confidence to do their part.
If you’re not the best, and you want to be, that’s ok. Get to work. But then when you work, and you’re the best, go be the best.
