OK, onto today's topic: What is your best?

Here is a fun exercise (Yes, this means you will have to get up from your computer. Trust me, it'll be worth it):

1) Sit on the ground with your legs stretched out straight in front of you.
2) Do your 'best' to touch your toes or (for you yogis) see how far past your toes your 'best' is
3) Sit back up nice and straight, take a deep breath, picture going twice as far, and with pure determination, see how far past your toes you will go this time.

GO DO IT! Picturing it in your head doesn't count. ha ha

Did you do it? Good.

So if you did your 'best' the first time, how come the second time you went further? And probably not just a little further, but several inches further!

Paradoxically, doing your 'best' is often limiting you from achieving your best! And this applies to all areas of your life.

An every day example of this would be the value of a coach or personal trainer. Invariably, just as you squeeze out that last painful repetition, you hear "Give me 2 more!". And what do you know, you can do it! And it is in these final repetitions when you truly push yourself, you achieve your biggest results.

What areas of your life are you doing your 'best'? What would happen if you pushed yourself and did better?

Life's a trip. Give'r.

Your friend and Coach,
Bryce
