"To Give Anything Less Than Your Best...

...Is To Sacrifice The Gift" Steve Prefontaine.

I love this quote. One of my favorites of all time. To strive to be your best is a gift in itself. Accepting your best is another one. No one is perfect, but everyone can be the best "them" they can be.

I think of this quote often. Not only in my pursuit of a healthy lifestyle...but on my life journey - being a mom, friend, wife, person.

We can strive to give our best in all things. Not from a perfectionist point of view, but from a realistic, hard-working point of view. And through hard-work and determination, we can find the gift of contentment.

When I think of this quote, it releases me from perfection and gives me the ability to appreciate my accomplishments, at the same time gives me the drive for excellence.

I want to give my best...seek greatness and acquire the gift.

"To Give Anything Less Than Your Best Is To Sacrifice The Gift"...don't sacrifice the gift!
