When Your Best Isn't Good Enough

A fast paced world calls for you to be faster. It's like running on a treadmill at a constant speed while increasing the treadmill's speed. Eventually you're going to get left behind. Once you get left behind, nothing you do is going to be "good enough." Trying seems pointless because trying is the same thing as failing to everyone around you. As long as there is someone better than you, your best will not be good enough. There are billions of people in this world to which you can be compared. The only difference is, they're not you. They will never be you. They can't effect people the way you do. Their best may be seen as the greatest effort, but it's not your effort. Giving 100% is all people can ask and if it doesn't pay off, then it doesn't pay off. People around you will not see that, but you should. One of the best feelings is succeeding without the help of people who only see your failures.
