Your best
is always good enough, because it comes from you, and you are always good
enough.
Nothing
ever simple is it? My moms a very poorly
lady and I feel quite helpless at times because I want to make it better for
her and I can’t. I can however make it
easier for her! We spent two hours in
A&E yesterday to find out it there wasn’t anything broken in her hip area,
they think it’s the sciatic nerve and have referred her for physio tomorrow so
lets hope that helps, the painkillers aren’t working so I shall call the doctor
this morning for something stronger. It’s
getting her down because she feels so old and helpless and to make matters
worse her memory is so bad she forgets things and gets angry and frustrated
with herself. Life isn’t fun is it as
you get older when nature throws these things at you!
On a
brighter note somehow I managed to lose a pound and a half, that’s the pound I
gained last week and a bonus 1/2lb ;-) 1/2lb a week is my new goal so that I
don’t have to make too many changes, I’d rather take longer and enjoy the
journey!
I tried a
new food yesterday ‘beluga lentils’ different, not horrible but not something I’d
be searching for again especially as they were expensive and quite high in
ProPoints.
I’m going
to have to get super organised to get everything done that needs doing, that’s
probably a good thing as I won’t have the time to sit round at night eating, I’m
going to have to start taking Alfie for his second walk and start doing the
housework when I get in. I’ve come to
the conclusion moms the messy tramp because since she’s been immobile the house
seems a little tidier ;0) it might actually be because I’ve realised I’ve got
to tidy it up that’s helping too.
Referring back to my quote of the day, we often think
our best isn’t good enough, but it’s always good enough, because it comes from
you, and you are always good enough. You may not be able to deliver someone
else’s idea of the best, but who cares! You only need to fulfill your own
potential, and as long as you remain true to yourself, and always do your best in
any given situation, you don’t need to expect anything more from yourself. I’d like to be able to do more for my mom
right now but it isn’t physically possible, so I’m doing my best to make her
comfortable, to get her help and to keep her company.It’s easy to get tangled up with the idea of trying to be the best—the best parent, the best employee, the best child, the best friend or the best dieter. Everybody can’t be the best, but we can all want aim improve, I read a quote of a Weight Watcher facebook page the other day that said, “every day I’m becoming a better me”, no you’re not you’re becoming “a different you”, better is one of those words that can be taken out of context, better implies you’re not too good now, well you are, you’re already perfect!
Letting go of the tendency to hold ourselves up to other people’s standards,
and letting go of the belief that we need to compete and win, doesn’t mean we
don’t believe in doing the best job we can. We always strive to do our best,
because when we do we create a life free of regret, knowing we have performed
to the best of our ability. This allows you to feel great personal satisfaction
in all of your efforts, regardless of how others perceive the outcome.
So enjoy your day, be your best and sod the rest ;-)
Never forget how amazing you are x
