What's the difference between trying your best and doing your best? The easiest way to tell the difference is that when you're actually doing your best, you never ever feel guilt or regret. Imagine a life where you never ever felt guilty and you never regretted anything. Now, that doesn't mean that as
you learn and grow, you don't come up with things that you could have done better if you knew then what you know now. But when you sincerely do the best, you know, all the time, while you recognize the possibility for improvement as you learn how to be better, you're still free from guilt because, you
know, you did your best truly doing your best or trying your best. It's one of those weird things where the more someone says that the less likely they mean it when people say try their best, usually what they mean is I did it as far as I felt comfortable or I pushed the envelope just a little bit and
then I didn't feel like doing it anymore or it hurt too much or I lost hope or I couldn't see how this was gonna be worth it anymore. In the moment, even though on paper is still clearly the best option. And so I stopped, well, that's not doing your best. So when people say that they're trying their
best, usually they are saying that because they're not doing their best. It is one of many things we say and do to try to weasel out of what we ought to be doing or try to weasel out of guilt for what we're, we shouldn't be doing. But we are anyway. So that's the difference between trying your best and
doing your best. You'll know you're doing your best when you're actually doing your best because you will live a life completely free from guilt or regret.
