I've been thinking a lot lately about doing my best work.
Setting up the time and space to do it.
Building the infrastructure to support the doing...
But what exactly IS my best work?
I'm not really sure.
The thing that only I can do.
The work I was born to do.
Work I am proud of doing.
These sound like lofty goals. But how do I know if the projects I am pursuing are really my best work?
A possible way out of the maze is to consider doing the work that resonates with my heart.
Work that can help change someone who bumps into it.
Work that serves others. Or makes the world better in some way.
I can only know if it is my best work by doing the work to the best of my ability,
Stepping back and saying "here I made this for you"
And seeing what happens next.
Regardless of how it is perceived, it can still be my best work. My best shot.
Standing out there, unabashed, ready to be scrutinized.
Valuable because I think it is worth my time.
