Affirmation for August 17, 2011: Giving it Your Best Shot

The price of success is hard work,dedication to the job at hand,and the determination that whether we win or lose,we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.- Vince Lombardi
Thought of the Day:
Whatever your goals are in life, work toward them with everything you've got, but not so much that you burn yourself out altogether. Without some sort of solid commitment (to something), life can often seem less meaningful than it should. But with too much commitment toward any one goal, everything else might start to blur out of focus.
The trick is knowing how to create a balance; knowing when you're in need of a short break - to quickly step away and assess your progress, and maybe even adjust your action plan - and then return to that commitment with a new level of clarity and understanding.
Have a committed day!
