No matter what your current circumstances are, the first step to becoming better is to commit to doing it. It’s amazing that so many companies, marketing experts, mentors, coaches, lawyers, doctors, and even rocket scientists like to present themselves as “the best”. Claiming that you are the best in any industry or field of expertise is simply incorrect – or at least there is no way to actually measure it even if it is. At the end of the day, there is no way for any company or person to say that they offer the best of anything – service, quality, or features. There are no benchmarks and we have no idea who all the competitors are. Your competitive juices must be constantly flowing to be better than the rest.
The good news is that you don’t need to be the best. You can be better. ‘Best’ is an impossible criterion that lacks credibility even though it may be backed by testimonies, endorsements, and accolades. think about this; “Better” is a more realistic claim and a much easier comparison. You can say you are driven, determined, compelled to provide better service or products than any other service or products in the area, and most importantly, to outperform your great service every year. This seemingly lower claim is actually more realistic, more believable and more attractive.
The “best” criterion also keeps you on your toes and keeps you moving quickly in the forward direction. You become fully aware that thinking that you are better means that you have to keep pushing, learning and improving because there is still room for improvement. Being the best is a final note and only offers a short-term advantage.
Once you become the best, there is no incentive to push any harder and laziness or complacency begins to emerge and you will be in danger of being beaten on all sides by every competitor… Now you know that for all those “best” people who think their motive is to survive At best, they only fool themselves. The impulse to improve, to get better, is always stronger than the false motivation to stay in one place, even if it is for the best.
Any accomplished athlete, company, or leader who is actually able to stay on top of the pack for any noteworthy amount of time can do so not because they think they are the best, but because they show up every day to give their best performance. The main competitors: themselves. Pushing yourself and those around you to be better is the only way to be better than the best.
As you send this message to your mind, you will remember that you can become better than the best every time you wish, that is, if you remain committed to the cause. Most of us at one level or another are familiar with what commitment means. Earlier we talked about the 3 “C” in life. Choice, chance and change. Well, here’s another “c”, commitment. Commit is where tire meets tar. If you want to achieve the success you desire in any area of your life and become better in everything you do, then you need to understand the basic elements needed to make it real, to capture its magic. You have to be committed and really committed to getting better and better day by day in every way.
Commitment also means promise, pledge, vow, commitment, guarantee, word, and guarantee.
To have a real commitment requires three things. The first is desire. The fact that you are still reading here is more than enough evidence that you have a strong desire, a longing desire. That feels so good, right? You are on your way to a truly exciting, invigorating, invigorating, invigorating, fun, most rewarding and unforgettable experience of your life. Stay with me knowing that desire also means desire, want, longing, longing, longing, need, ambition, and calling.
You are better than that. You can have your heart desires. You can fulfill all your dreams.
The second is faith. You have to remain committed to the faith. You need to believe in this process. With your desire and desire to believe in yourself, your commitment to becoming better to become stronger and stronger will manifest. You will be thrilled, empowered, and supported as you take charge, and the ownership of each of your unique exceptional talents and abilities is yours alone.
The third is faith. On one of my many visits to the United States, I was suddenly called from the West Coast to go to Houston, Texas. I had to take three connecting flights to the East Coast and landed in Atlanta, Georgia to catch the last connecting flight to Houston. The plane was not as full as other flights and I was sitting in a 4 seat section with a 2 seat row on the other side of the aisle. A young lady in her late twenties was sitting by the window on the other side of the aisle next to me and seemed to lazily scroll through an aviation magazine. We were about 15 minutes into a full flight when the plane suddenly drifted violently and stabilized as fast as it started. The first warning of approaching problems came when the sign on the plane flashed: ‘Fasten your seat belts. Then after a while, a quiet voice said ‘We won’t serve drinks at this time as we expect a little turbulence.’ Please make sure you fasten your seat belt. “When I looked around the plane, it became clear that many passengers became anxious. Later, the announcer’s voice said, ‘We are very sorry we are unable to serve at this time, turbulence is still ahead.’ “And then the storm broke out. The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard even above the roar of the engines. The lightning lit up the darkened sky, and within moments that great plane like Flynn had been tossed into a celestial ocean. The next, it fell as if it was about to collapse.When I looked around the plane, I could see that almost all the passengers were upset and panicked, some were praying.
By now people were frantically clinging to the seats in front of them. The knuckles turned white because I realized I had never had such severe turbulence in all my years of traveling through the air. Then the plane seemed to have passed over a series of invisible speed bumps and at that time all the passengers panicked but no one said a word and I laughed out loud. The young woman next to me looked at me by the window and asked how I could laugh when we seemed to be in such a dangerous situation. I told her not to worry and that this plane would never crash especially since I was on it. “What do you mean?” she asked. I told her everyone was fine as long as you were on the plane. She took off her seat belt and darted across the aisle to sit next to me. I knew she was going to ask me more questions but before she could, I asked her if she was in high school or if she was going to college. Now as if the plane was miraculously flying smoothly and I recognized her name as Jessica and we were on a friendly chat. Jessica told me she ran into trouble wherever she went because she was actually 32, a trained psychiatrist who had her own clinic but looked like 18. I laughed again when I told her that I had a connection up there and that I was safe as long as I was on board. My belief in God and my belief in His ability to protect me is what prompted me to speak out and affirm my faith. My faith was my comfort. My faith was Nouri al-Hadi. What kept me from panicking is what I believe in. The following question was frequently asked to Hans Selye, a pioneer in understanding human stress. “What is the most stressful situation a person can face?” His immediate and unexpected response: “I have nothing to believe in.”
The good news is that you don’t have to believe what other people say about you, you can believe in what you have to say about yourself. What you need is desire and enough faith to believe the steps you need to take to be better and better. When you do this, you will be on your way to achieving almost anything you want.
