Is it your best ever?

I had this quote from Alan Cohen in my e-mail inbox this morning.

“If your current endeavor is not the best you have ever done, stop and consider what it would take to make it so.” – Alan Cohen

My first thought was, “That’s a great way of evaluating what I’m doing.” And within just a few seconds I was ready to discard it into the waste bin of ‘great concepts that I’m too busy for’. That’s because it’s so BIG and it requires such a high level of personal integrity that it’s intimidating.

Well, I decided it’s time to get over small thoughts about who I am and what I’m capable of. I really do have something brewing that’s bigger and bolder than I’ve ever done. A select few people know about it so far and it scares the crap out of me to reveal it to the world, but I know that announcing it will do two really big things for me.

First, it will require me to hold myself accountable to myself at a higher level because avoiding looking like a fool motivates me more than than staying within the velvet lined confines of my shoe box sized comfort zone. Second, the cause is so noble and worthy that I know I’ll get a level of support that I can’t yet imagine.

Stay tuned in – it’s coming soon. Meanwhile, what can you do to make your current work or play your best ever?
