" &amp;quot;Do the best you can.&amp;quot; We&amp;#039;ve all heard that one before. But in a spin class recently (hey, there&amp;#039;s a reason it&amp;#039;s called SoulCycle), the instructor said a version of it that really clicked:   Here&amp;#039;s why I love that: Doing the best I can without compromise means\u2026 no half-ass job, no selling myself short, no excuses, no faking it, no, well, compromising! And doing the best I can without comparison means\u2026 no measuring my best against your best (or anyone else&amp;#039;s best); it means I keep my eyes on myself\u2014instead of judging myself against what someone else does/looks like/aspires to be. Compare and despair often go hand in hand\u2014so if I ditch the compare, I avoid the despair! Thanks for the inspiration, Marvin Foster Jr. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
