Being your (nearly) best self

Being your best self every minute of every day is simply not possible. We constantly make mistakes, bad decisions, we lose control of our emotions, we communicate in ways that people don’t appreciate, we roll our eyes, we gossip, we procrastinate and let our teammates down.

This is what it means to be human.

What matters more is that we start and end every day with good intentions. That we try not to make the same mistakes again and again, that we listen, we learn, we show humility, we’re mindful about how we (and others) feel, we contribute and that we maintain our humanity when all around us are losing theirs.

No-one has been or ever will be perfect, but if you try to be your (nearly) best self every day, then that’s something to be proud of.
