Doing the Best

"My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life,
but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment."
Oprah Winfrey

We've all heard of vicious circles. How doing something bad only makes the situation worse so that you do something even worse next time. But we are so busy worrying about the possibility of ourselves getting into a vicious circle, that we forget that it works the other way too. How doing something good only makes the situation better so that you do something even better next time.

Our future certainly depends on what we do now. In order to get the results we want, we must be responsible for our life, and choose to do those things that support the results we desire. Not the results someone else desires, or the results we feel we deserve or that we must make do with. We don't have to "make do" with anything we don't want. And we deserve whatever we beleive we deserve, so it is best that we learn to beleive that we deserve whatever we want. We need to be running our own show, and take control over our own desires.

If you are to do the best at this moment, you must act in a way that is congruent with what you value. You must strive to do whatever action would make you feel good about yourself. And when you do the best at this moment, you will find the support and help to make your results from the next action even better; which will lead to more support and help in an upward spiral. Vicious circles do work the other way too.
