Are You the Best You Can Do?
I had this question suddenly popped into my mind and I thought I wanted to pursue it for a bit.
Am I the best I can do?
This was the question that dragged me down in a rabbit hole of soul-searching. It’s obvious how all of us are trying to better ourselves, no matter what kind of emotions we go through in life every day. We try to get what’s best for us, be it for better or the worse. That’s what it simply is, chasing towards a better self than who we are right now.
But, how do we know when we are there? I asked myself.
The answer is, we don’t. Whenever we think that we reached it, there will always be something better out there that we see for us. And knowing that, you may ask, why do we even try if we can’t satisfy ourselves?
Because we have to. If we don’t reach such heights, we would never know about the paths that we can open for us. If we stay inside our comfort zone, it will be for a while, but nothing ever lasts. It’s better to be on the move for greener pastures in life. It’s up to us to face thorns and detours in the path we take, but as long as we keep our head held high and aim for the target we want to achieve; we will reach it.
