    After we’ve given ‘our best’ is it ethical to check, mostly, within us, if it’s good enough?

    • Hi Yinka,

      I am not sure there are any ‘rights’ or ‘wrongs’ about giving or what ‘our best’ is. In my opinion, it differs for every individual and the best you can do is just to do your best! However, sometimes when faced with challenges beyond what we think we could handle, we discover more about ourselves and realize we can do better than ‘our best’. I am sure you’ll know when ‘your best’ is ‘your best’!
