It's really hard to tell if someone is giving their 100%. Why?Because we aren't them! 100% is a very personal measurement. We often know when we can do better, but don't want to admit it. So we make excuses. The best thing we can do is give 100% of what we can on that day in that moment. In other words, our "Maximum Effort". Doing that helps push past excuses and keeps us moving in the right direction through small steps.That direction you ask? Yeah... it's success.I appreciate you checking out the episodes.

We often judge those things or people we see based on our perception of them. But what about those times we judge ourselves, often negatively.If we take a positive stance, we have the ability to realize that we are the totality of ALL our experiences. We wouldn't be who we are or what we are capable of without the losses alongside the wins, the sadness with the joy, and the ability to succeed because we have failed.Don't judge others, but especially yourself, too harshly because we have no idea of knowing who or what we would be if it weren't for our experiences.Hit the subscribe button …
