Offer your very best

10. Offer your very best.

You are most likely to give your best to those you love and respect. If you see everyone as important, you will always offer your best. Most moments in life become special only if we treat them that way. The best way to elevate an experience is to give it your best.

“My potential is God’s gift to me; what I do with my potential is my gift to God.”

I am accountable to God, others and myself for the gifts, talents, abilities and resources that I have. If I don’t do my best I am shirking my God-given responsibility.

To apply this principle: Forget about doing the minimum required to get by but always give your maximum effort. Ask what you can do for someone who can never repay you. Voluntarily give beyond what anyone expects.
