“If you’ll not settle for anything less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives.”
– Vince Lombardi
A lot of times before, I have settled for second best. Thoughts of failure or mediocrity creeps into my mind as I am pushing towards a goal, and guess what — I do end up falling short of my true end goal. Having such thoughts lingering around is really counter productive as it constantly undermines the effort you are putting in. Picture yourself physically running towards the finish line but your brain telling your body, “No way you’re going to make it there”. There’s no room for such thoughts; so let go of such thoughts already! Accept the outcome after, but don’t settle for anything less than your best when pushing forward.
Update 3/22/2007: Related post by Brian Kim about falling into the trap of being mediocre.
