Always Do Your Best – Your Best is Changing All the Time

Your best will depend on whether you are refreshed in the morning or tired at night. Your best will be different when you are happy as opposed to upset, or healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstances, simply do your best , and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.

COT:

We all hear about managing your time. Instead, we need to focus on managing ourselves.

We all have the same amount of time.

We don’t manage time, we manage what we do within time.

YHC is trying to not use the “I’m busy” excuse, whether it’s true or not. Instead, YHC is working towards better managing what is done within the time.

The Thang: Italian Tune Up
(An Italian tune-up is when you drive the car at full-load for a brief period of time to get the engine hot enough to burn out carbon buildup. It originated with Ferrari: most owners only operated their vehicles at low speeds, which resulted in buildup of carbon deposits in the system… deposits that only full-throttle heat could remove.) For the workout we do the same…fullthrottle burn off sloth and mediocrity!
