Be the best at what you do best, sounds like one of those "blindingly obvious" statements people use doesn't it. And yes it is I suppose. The problem is, most people don't do the best they can, all the time. Most of the time they settle for second or even third best. You see if you were the best you can be, all of the time you would be a very rich and powerful person. Are you known as the best person in your field? Are you rich and powerful as a result of it? Or are you still running with the pack on this one.
 
Most people I know, and I am sure you will be the same, know of a few people who really are the best at what they do. They excel in certain areas, and they are rich and powerful as a result. Now, you should remember what we spoke about the other day - being rich does not always equate to money. Does that mean they have oversized ego's? No, I don't believe that either. And this does not always equate to the business world. You may be the best cook in the family, or can write superb poetry, you tell me you're the best at what you do best, so enjoy it, share it if you can, and thank whatever god you talk to for giving you that particular ability.
 
But talking about work, do you do all that you can all of the time? Of course not. In a typical 8 hour working day, there are only 5-6 hours of truly productive time. Don't believe me, then you need to have a look at your time log again. How many hours did you waste reading emails and surfing the Internet today? And what of your evenings and weekends, a perfect time to perfect a skill, or learn a new one. Time to work on your goals and your projects, yet few people do so.
 
I know I talk about doing more so that you can be more, see more and do more rather than wasting time effort and energy on things that do not matter. Does that mean I don't have any "time off"? of course I do and so should you. But and here is the thing, you should not confuse the two. If you are having time off, then have time off, don't think about work, don't work on the weekend if you can help it. When you are at work you should work. Don't confuse the two. And if you can get that right (and believe me when I say that most people haven't been able to master that particular trait) then you will be better than most of the rest of the population as a result. By allowing yourself the right to be in the moment...work at work, rest when you are at rest, and make time for personal development and also play time, then you will certainly be the best at what you do best.
