give it your all, give it your best

Have you noticed that when you give little effort or care, life reflects back to you the same little effort and care?

Give life your all and life will give its all to you, too. Be willing to give your all to the moment: your time, energy, and focus.

3 benefits of giving it your all

say, bye 👋, to recurring life lessons

When you give life your best effort, you learn things that you will never have to learn again. You show up to the life lessons. You do the work to overcome them. 

learn along the way

Marie Forleo says, show up every single moment like you’re meant to be there. Stop thinking about how your life would be better if you worked a different job or if you lived in a different city.

Be where you’re at with 110% confidence that you’re in the perfect place.

If you have a job that you don’t love, look for the gem that your work offers you. This gem can be a skill or knowledge that you can use in a future job or situation.

inspire and motivate others

When you give live your all, your face glows. Your walk and talk also glows with determination to not let life get the best of you. Your presence is enough to inspire and motivate others to up their game.

but what if you’re having a crappy 💩  day?

If you’re having a crappy day or if you’re in a crappy mood, you can still give life your best effort.

Don Miguel Ruiz writes:

Always do your best, no more and no less. But keep in mind that your best is never going to be the same from one moment to the next…Your best will sometimes be high quality, and other times it will not be so good.

from The Four Agreements

You best effort will look different every day. It’s still your choice to give life your all whether you had a few hours of sleep or got a million things going on.

Surround yourself with passionate and motivating people who give life their all. Their best effort will motivate you to give life your all, too.

If everything and everyone seems hopeless, give life your all nonetheless. You are the hope other people need that things will turn out all right.
