“Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.” ~ Maya Angelou
Complaints are heard year-round. But it’s heightened during the holidays.

Comparison shows up at holiday parties. Second-guessing roams your head. Clutter holds back last-minute invites to your home. Perfection brings more self-induced attacks.
Why would you put yourself down during a time of hope and love?
Do the best you can!
No one is complaining or comparing but you. Most people are hyper-focused on what they need to do to get through the holidays.
- Juggling the shopping lists
- Last-minute projects at school for the kiddos
- Checking the bank account twice
- Hoping a certain person does or doesn’t come for the family gathering
Everyone has their own drama. So there’s no reason for you to add to your own drama.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go.
Do the best you can!
As you take a moment to reflect on all that has happened this year, remember what you have accomplished. Celebrate the goodness in your life.
Don’t focus so much on what is still left to accomplish. That can wait until another day.
Start believing in what’s possible. Reach for your dreams wherever you are now.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Do the best you can!
Guess what?
Christmas is going to come whether you’re ready or not. So stop worrying so much and enjoy the process. Give yourself time to rest and see the awe in children’s eyes.
Look at the Star at night and imagine you were the one visiting the stable. Do you think you would have been worried about how you looked or if everything was prepared?
No! You would do the best you could at that time.
The same goes for today.
God asks only what you can give Him. He doesn’t look side-to-side or under your bed for dust bunnies. He wants your heart.
And so does everyone else. Christmas is about family! Coming together and enjoying each other.
Who cares about how the tree is decorated, where you bought your ham, or how many presents you didn’t duplicate.
Do the best you can!
You have this moment to live your life, love who is in your presence, and to impact the world you touch.
So what do you want from today?
Do you want to keep yourself tethered to the drudges of complaining and comparison?
Or are you willing to put aside what the world can dish out every day, and hone in on the hope and love of this season?
“Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.” ~ Maya Angelou
You got today! Smile from ear to ear. Remember, a little babe was born to bring hope and love to the world. But it didn’t happen overnight. He had to be born and then grown and learn.
You too need time to grow and learn, to be stretched and challenged. When you know better, then you do better.
God’s got you.
Hold on to the real reason for the season.
“Do the best you can!”
