Some Wise Words on Personal Development

The older I get, the more I seem compelled to give unsolicited advice. Yesterday, my old-man advice, given to a drifting younger person, was actually quite good.

I told him to be the best you that you can be. Nothing more.

Now, I might have lifted the phrase from someone else. Actually, I’m almost certain that I lifted it from someone else, nonetheless, I felt wise dispensing it. If you were the one who inspired my advice, thank you. I’m passing it on in good faith.

Be the best you that you can be.

It’s very attainable. You don’t have to be anyone else or live up to standards imposed on you by others. You have to live up to your own.

One more piece of advice, your standards should be exceedingly high. This is the tough part.

Let me ask you this. Are you being the best you that you can be?

P.S. The younger person got it. Score one for the old guy.
