Do Your Best… What More Can You Do?
As a musician I used to get very caught up in writing the perfect songs. I used to get a lot of anxiety from feeling like my songs and my voice and my band wouldn’t be good enough.
I’ve grown since then. I’ve realized that I just need to do my best and let it go from there. What’s the use of worrying if I’m trying my hardest? What more could I do? It gives me a better feeling. No more anxiety or discomfort. If I write it and people love it, great. If I write it and people don’t like it, oh well, maybe they will like the next one. All that matters is that I did what I could. There isn’t any looking back and saying, “Oh man, I wish we did this instead.” We didn’t do that, we did our best and nothing more.
I want to stop talking about me and talk about you. All you can do is try to do your best, don’t feel bad after that. There are times at school, or at home, or at a sports game when you fail or you lose or you make a mistake. But the only time you should be ashamed of that is if you weren’t trying your hardest. Always bring your A game, and you can’t lose. It’s like all those sports movies where at the end they end up losing, but no one cares anymore because they all know how hard they tried for it. Think about those movies and relate them to your life… Ya. Do that.
Do your best because after that, what more can you do?
