Just because perfection isn’t feasible doesn’t mean that we have an excuse to be mediocre. As individuals, we have limitless potential for growth and improvement, as well as limitless potential for what we can contribute to any work we undertake. How can you give it your all? Let's take a closer look.
Use the 100 percent rule to follow your dreams.
What is the one-hundred percent rule? It entails giving everything you have. You can always strive to do your best when working at home or striving to be a better partner, when cleaning or creating. This rule will transform your life because you will begin to see greater outcomes, receive better responses from others around you, and feel much more content with all you do as a result of following it.
Giving your all does not always imply achieving the best results. You will become fatigued at times. You will be unwell or busy at times. It just means making the best of what you have.
Always strive to improve.
It's easy to become complacent and believe that we've reached our limit. However, there is always the possibility of further development. We can do better; we can be more efficient and faster. Stretching yourself and improving your ability to achieve new heights is part of doing your best. The greatest of today will not be the best of tomorrow.
Keep track of your progress.
We trust our memories and don't care to track our progress, which allows us to be complacent. As a result, it's difficult for us to tell whether we're progressing or when we've reached a stalemate. It's crucial to keep track of your development and performance since it keeps you motivated.
If you ran one block today and two blocks tomorrow, you performed twice as well. It's also a good method to collect feedback: if you haven't been able to run two blocks in a row, but have been running one for weeks, it's time to modify your strategy. Track your progress on a regular basis and in writing (using a journal, an app, or whatever works).
This can also help you keep track of your goals and add new things on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis to see how far you've come.
Surround yourself with people who are positive.
Negative people drag you down, therefore surround yourself with positive people. Seek out friends, family members, and acquaintances who will encourage and support you, rather than those who will criticize you. Boost your self-assurance. This isn't limited to real-life individuals.
You should also pay attention to what you read, watch, and the people you follow on social media. Consider if the messages you're getting are positive ("You can accomplish it!"," "Believe in yourself") or negative ("It's impossible!"," "The world is dreadful!"," etc.).
It is simpler to stay positive if you are positive and receive largely good messages.
Work should be viewed as a challenge.
We frequently regard our work or daily chores as tedious or dull. We think of them as tedious tasks that keep us from watching Netflix or lying in our beds. This perspective, on the other hand, can keep you from giving it your all since, after all, why try for something uninteresting? Your entire attitude can change if you adjust your thinking and regard each work as a challenge.
Dishes aren't really enjoyable, but they can be a test of your skill and abilities. Is it possible to complete it in less than 5 minutes? Is it possible for you to meditate during this time? Will you be able to leave the dishes spotless and finally remove the tea stain? Allow your imagination to go wild and approach your work as a challenge. You must put out your utmost effort.
Make things enjoyable.
Making things difficult for yourself is one approach to motivate yourself to perform your best. Another method is to make them enjoyable by altering not only the outlook but also the scenario. Put on some music you enjoy, take out your favorite pen, and allow yourself to be creative. Tasks that are enjoyable are far more rewarding!
Giving your all can change your life. You will improve as a companion, friend, employee, professional, and parent. So give it a shot and keep in mind:
“Always give it your all. Your best will fluctuate from moment to moment, and it will differ when you are healthy vs when you are sick. Simply do your best in any situation, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.”
