Doing your Best vs Being the Best

I was inspired to write this by a comment made by a dancer last night on Australia’s “So you think you can Dance”. A male dancer was facing the chop from the competition and told the judges “I didn’t come here to be the best, I only wanted to be the best I could be.”
Now this comment may sound admirable to some as most champions endeavor to be the best they can at whatever they do. And yet, what stops an individual from aspiring to be the very best. Do they not think themselves capable or worthy of being the best.
You get what you expect, and by discounting yourself from being the best, you are really limiting yourself. I’m sure that if this dancer aspired to be the best in the competition, then he would be a better dancer. I’m not saying that he would go on to win the competition. It is said, “shoot for the moon, even if you fall short you will land upon the stars”.
What are you aiming for in your career after sport? Are you setting yourself the same kind of lofty goals you might have as an athlete? Your beliefs will determine what you do with your life, and when you change your beliefs to be positive and empowering, you will then be on the path to greatness in a new career.
