give it your all

You shouldn't hesitate or feel dumb about what you do or say..do what you do with love, whatever it may be. Give it 100% even if you're not sure about it. If you're going to choose to do something or say something then be able to be passionate about it... if you're going to choose to study at a culinary school, then be able to go on the rooftops and yell I WANT TO BE A CHEF! if you're going to choose to be in love with a girl named Sally, then be able to jump on the rooftops and yell I AM IN LOVE WITH SALLY.. if you're going to choose to be a bag boy at Safeway, then be able to stand tall on that rooftop and yell I BAG YOUR GROCERIES. we all have roles. sometimes we have to fulfill them for stability.. but a lot of the time, we get to choose some of our roles... those are the ones we should be happy with. and once things change, and you're beginning to fill yet another role, just climb down that old rooftop and move on to the next. people won't point their fingers at you and say "but last week you were on THAT rooftop and you were yelling THIS instead"..and if they do, pity them for lack of understanding that life includes growth and change.

in the end. i think it's all about passion and giving it your all.

I don't like not being able to "give it my all" on certain things... i mean, i'll be reading a book or something, and i'll suddenly have this amazing idea pop into my head and i'll think about it for a few minutes, and before i know it, it's time to go to work! it really pisses me off sometimes... that i don't even have time to sit and THINK.

But anyway... i don't think it's fair to ourselves to not try and be the best we can be. Why do something half-heartedly? seems like a waste of time. So, the next time you grab that broom to sweep the kitchen, grab the broom and yell, I'M SWEEPING THE KITCHEN, and IT'S WONDERFUL!

i read this one book, and it said "working the best you can literally means working 'out from the soul' ... In all the work you are doing, work the best you can. Work as if you were doing it for the benefits it will bring, not for people." but i think it can be related to life in general, not just work. BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE =] and don't let anyone tell you that your best is not enough.
