Remind yourself that doing your best doesn’t necessarily guarantee to win. Sometimes your “best” is bringing home a golden trophy while sometimes it’s coming home late and empty-handed.
Sometimes you pour your heart and soul into something, and other times you just hope for the best. Sometimes "best" means running a mile, while other times it means taking a few modest steps. It alternates between being on cloud nine and seeing the sky from below. Sometimes your "best" gets you the crown, and other times it gets you another chance to try.
You see, your best doesn’t always look impressive to others and sometimes even to yourself. But remember that in any battle faced, when you do your best, you win for real.
