Summary

Today’s expression and dialog: do my darndest How’d Timmy do yesterday? He struck out the one time he was at bat. Aw. That’s too bad. I know. He did his darndest, though! If you REALLY want to do it, you can. If you REALLY want to be the best, you can! If you REALLY believe it, it'll come true!!! Nope. Not true for most people. It's NOT!!!! Don't be mad at me~~ There is ALWAYS someone better. Always. HOWEVER, we need to know, it is NOT winning, it's HOW YOU PLAY. It's not being first, it's doing your best. If you really do your best, if you consistently do your best, if you really want to do your best...then no one will be better than you. YOU did your best. You are not HIM or HER. You are YOU. Do your best, and you ARE the best. Life is simple. Make life the best that you can make it. That's all.
