4. Always do your best

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick.  Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self judgement, self abuse and regret.

No more, no less, recognizing that our best changes from moment to moment.

If you try too hard you will  use up energy and your best will not be enough.  When you overdo, you deplete your body, slowing progress.  When you do less than your best you will be subject to self judgement and regret.

Re: Doing more - We are not here to sacrifice our joy or our lives.  Love, be happy.

Doing your best, you will be productive but do it because you love it, not for the reward.  You literally can't do your best if you're only doing it for the reward.

The "Judge" can't bother you if you can say "I did my best." and you are impeccable in your word.  Learn to accept yourself.  Learn from mistakes.  Look honestly at the results.  Practice.

Do your best because you love yourself and want to; not for anyone else.  Action is about living fully.  Have an idea, act upon it.  This leads to manifestation and reward.

Doing your best is saying "I love you God.  Thank you for this life."

Let go of the past.  Live in the present.  Whatever life takes away, let it go.
I am a best friend.  I can be a best friend to everyone by treating all confidences seriously, respecting my time and theirs, doing my best, for me.  Be the best friend you can be.  (p. 84)

You have the right to be happy, to love, to share your love.  This life passing through you is God passing through you.  Don't resist it.  Say no when you want to and yes when you want to.

Doing your best manifests yourself truly.   Being alive and loving yourself expresses your divinity. (p. 85)

In the other three agreements you won't be perfect, but do your best.  By doing your best, habits of
-misusing the word
-taking things personal
-making assumptions
become weaker and less frequent over time.

Master doing your best through practice.  Action is what make the difference.  Honoring these 4 agreements keep you from living in hell. 

Keep trying.  If you fall, do not judge.  Do not become a victim of your judgement.  Living in a past dream keeps you from enjoying what is happening now.

Do your best at learning to love yourself.  Take care of yourself.

Doing your best means, “I love yiu God. Thank you for this life.” I really like this. I’ve been thinking about eternal life, and how it's desrabilty presuposes that you enjoy life itself, so not being after the reward. Life is the reward, and we already have it!
