What happens when you face yourself with the question of: “Why haven’t I expected the best out of myself?” Whatever emotions that come up or doubts that arise as a result you need to get rid of. The only thing to do now is to make a choice going forward.
You don’t need to make false “commitments” to yourself or “try harder”. This is not a action and reaction problem. It’s a daily challenge. Every moment where you suddenly become conscious of your level of commitment and effort, you need to make the decision again and again to being insanely great.
