Deciding to do something is deciding to give it your best effort

If you’re doing it, you’re giving it your best

Deciding to do something is deciding to give it your best effort.

The things you decide to do must therefore be in line with your values. Only do what your heart is truly set out to do, or things that lead to that.

Your best effort means you do all you can to make something successful. At times though, all you can simply isn’t enough.

Uketamo and move on.

Uketamo that you gave it your best shot. Uketamo that the situation just wasn’t right. If you give it your all, there’s no blame, nor shame. You did everything you could.

Because what else is there?
