It's really hard to look around you and feel like your best isn't good enough. You get caught in a cycle of comparing yourself to others whether it's via social media, school work, a job or just day to day accomplishments. It's really hard when you feel like everything you're doing is just mediocre compared to everyone else. You feel like a failure but sometimes, you need to remember that you're just doing your best.

So shout out to those who are doing their best day in and day out.

It's so easy to compare yourself to others and to feel like you're not good enough, but don't worry, you're still doing your best. That's all you can really do and that's all anyone can really ask of you. And to be honest, if your best isn't good enough for those around you, then you need to reevaluate those people in your life. Your best is all you can do. It's not worth trying to be someone you're not or stressing yourself out all of the time, thinking you aren't good enough. It's easy to feel like you don't measure up because this world we live in is always comparing people to one another, but you need to remember that everyone else in this world doesn't define your worth — you do.

Doing your best can feel like it's not always good enough, but you have to just keep pushing through and trying. It doesn't hurt to always try your hardest, regardless if you get rewarded every step of the way. It's the small things that add up, in the long run, to actually be something worth celebrating and being proud of. It's hard to look at a small accomplishment like just making it through a day or doing a good job on an assignment as really thriving. Those small things though are what get you noticed in the long run. It shows that you never gave up and kept doing your best and didn't let comparing yourself to others get in the way of making yourself feel accomplished.

So make sure to celebrate the small wins. Celebrate yourself, even if it's tiny steps along the way, like getting out of bed in the morning or making it through another day at work or at school. Know that some people are rooting for you (like me!) no matter what you're going through, as long as you're trying your best. Don't let the shallow jerks of the world ever make you feel worthless because they can't see the potential in you or how hard you are trying.

So shout out to you — just keep doing your best. It'll pay off eventually, and it'll definitely be worth it.
