Chapter Two  Be the Best You Can Be Today

Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.

- Zig Ziglar

When we do the best we can, where we are, with what we have now, we will live in success! So many people hold back and save their best for later. They wait for a reunion, an occasion, an event, a specific job, an important person with a special title or even a stranger before they show off everything they know and can do. The difference between The Average Joes and The Pros in sports, business and in every area of life is the discipline to do your best in your field every day.

So many times we can get hung up on focusing on the things we do not have, rather than on the things we do have. We think we need more equipment, more programs, more incentives, more people, more training and more money to be our best. Now, do not misunderstand me; more equipment, more programs, more incentives, more training and more money is good and will add value to our lives, helping us become and release our best. However, if we are not maximizing what we have in our ability, in the areas of the influence and equipment we have now, we will not when we get more, either. Use what you have now. Sharpen your skills you have now. Master your craft! Practice doing your best and when it comes time for Game Day, you will perform your best.

Do not be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are hard jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the bigger ones tend to take care of themselves.
Dale Carnegie

Give your best in every matter, both small and large, and you will experience the best each matter has to offer. Give your best now! Do not wait until later or tomorrow. Start where you are now. Do not let circumstances, people or excuses hold you back from giving your best. If its in your power to do it now, do not wait until tomorrow.

So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Todays trouble is enough for today.

- Matthew 6:34 (New Living Translation Bible)

Tomorrow has enough worries, problems and situations of its own. Why add more on top of it to make things even more difficult to deal with. Deal with it today! I once heard someone say that today is a gift, and thats why its called the present. We need to open up our today with the same excitement, attitude and efforts as if it really is a present. We are alive today. Today, we can make a change. Today is always the best time to deal with ourselves. Today!

One of the biggest problems that face our today is our worry about tomorrow. Worry is one of the greatest issues that paralyze people, keeping them from moving into the greatness for which they have been created. I once heard someone say, I do not worry about the things I can change, because I can change them. I do not worry about the things I can not change, because I can not change them. Therefore, I just do not worry. This is probably the most liberating statement I have ever heard! Stop and think about the truth of that statement! How many times have you changed the situations you were going through by worrying about them day and night? And if they did change from you worrying about them, they probably changed for the worse! Someone once said, Worry is like a rocking chair it gives you something to do, but it does not get you anywhere.

Share your best with the world today, do not worry about tomorrow and, no matter what happens, you will be an Ultimate Success!

People will tell you, you can not, you will not, you are not able, you are too small, you are too weak, you are not qualified, you are lacking in skill, or its impossible for you to achieve that! But who cares what they say? Just because they say it does not mean it is the truth, and has to be the truth! Someone once told me that most aeronautical engineers will tell you that there is no possible way the bumblebee can fly. His wingspan is not broad enough, he is too heavy and his body build makes it impossible for him to fly. Fortunately, the bumblebee does not understand aeronautics, so he just goes along and flies anyway!

Decide to have a bumblebee attitude and just fly anyway! God is on your side and will help you if you allow Him to. He is the One who is called alongside of you to help you in every area of your life. He will bring you through to victory, triumph, success and prosperity. When God is for you, no one can be against you. When you allow Him to be a part of your life, He helps you do all things through Christ, who strengthens you! You are a conqueror, and more than a conqueror through Christ, who died for you! Fight for the purpose He created you for. He fought for you; now its time for you to fight for Him! Fight for your purpose!
