Ever had a phrase you’ve heard all your life to fall on your ears as if you are hearing it or seeing it for the very first time?

Ever heard someone talk about a fellow employ, child, friend, associate and say “___ is really getting the best of me”? It’s usually said with a sense of frustration and exhaustion. Sort of, I’ve had about all I can take!

Let me ask you are question. Who is getting the best of you: your best service, your best energies, your best attention of the day, your best gifts, your best?

“Who are you letting get the best of you?”
