Personal Best

In a few days, young people from countries all around the world will be competing for gold medals in their chosen sports. Who will win?

Most likely, the honors will go to those who deliver a personal best — an athletic performance that sets world records and defeats all others who are attempting the same goal.

While the Olympics begin, this would be a good time to evaluate what you are doing in life, where you intend to grow and achieve, and how you’re doing at that.

Here are some questions to ask, to get you started:

How do you define success? An athlete has measurable goals to reach. What are yours?

What are your goals? What are some specific, measurable, realistic goals that you can set for yourself? When do you intend to complete or achieve each one?

What is YOUR personal best? When you think about the effort you put into your tasks and endeavors, are you really giving them your BEST shot? Your BEST performance?

If you are not satisfied with your results, up the ante on your efforts. Put in more time. Give it more focused attention. Be serious about what you’re doing — and deliver the very best performance you can. Make what you do, be something you love and into which you invest the absolute best of yourself.

Enjoy the Olympics — but more than that, enjoy your life, and the events in which YOU are participating.
