    How to achieve your Best
    Do you know your Best? That’s a good place to start, a very good question indeed to ask.

    Here is a 4-step personal re-acquaintance exercise for you to do:

    Step 1 has 2 parts;

    Part 1-Take some time this coming weekend and write down what you think your Best is. However, do it as if you are not involved with you- it is you writing about some one that you (partially) know from the outside looking in not the other way around.
    Part 2- ask others around you what they think is your Best. This kind of daring/creative question will open quite a few doors for you in areas that you do not expect.

    This exercise will teach you a great deal and at the very least will help you better understand what Best means.

    Having done both parts of step one and learned at your own hands and from others what your Best is, go to step 2 where you decide to:

    Make your current best your worst!

    This is challenging but also natural because your best is not fixed!

    It doesn’t matter how old you are or what your title is, your Best is always ahead of you- you can catch it moment by moment but you can’t posses it. When you achieve your Best you also grow it because the next level suddenly appears.


    Step 3 to achieve your best is to adopt an attitude that there is always more than what you think you know, and that you don’t know it all- if you pursue this attitude ( which happens to be part of your best…) it will sort out for you a lot of conflicts- Guaranteed!

    Step 4- Before pursuing something, ask yourself the following question:
    What is the best most effective way to achieve something?
    This is a core strategic thinking question that reduces assumptions, which are the main stumbling blocks to achieving your best.

    I am sure that you got it by now, that the great thing about your Best is that you can never catch it but… you must always pursue it.

    Here are some areas where your Best can be pursued:

    Your best in how you deal with others
    Your best in how you think ahead
    Your best effort
    Your best effectiveness
    Your best decision making process
    Your best in being unbiased
    Your best appreciation for what you have
    Your best good morning greetings
    Your best in how you think about you….and on and on- get the way of this and your Best will be always close but you’ll never catch it!
