Are you becoming the-best-version-of-yourself?

People are always asking me questions like, "When will I know that I have become the-best-version-of-myself?" and "Do I ever become the-best-version-of-myself, or is it one of those things we strive for but never achieve?"

Well, it isn't like we wake up one day and say, "The job is done. I am the-best-version-of-myself!" Everyday we have to celebrate our best self. In every moment we choose between the-best-version-of-ourselves… and a myriad of second-rate-versions-of-ourselves.

In some moments we actively celebrate our best self and in that moment we know that we are indeed the-best-version-of-ourselves. But in the next moment we can lose our best self once again to laziness, impatience, anger, envy, gossip, greed, thoughtlessness, selfishness…

The-best-version-of-ourselves isn't something we strive for and never achieve. It is something we achieve in some moments and not in others.

Your essential purpose is to become the-best-version-of-yourself. This one principle brings clarity to everything else in our lives.

What makes a good book, friend, marriage, job, or movie? A good book, friend, marriage, job, or movie, is one that helps us to become the-best-version-of-ourselves!

Everything makes sense in relation to our essential purpose. The people, experiences, and things we fill our lives with either helps us to become the-best-version-of-yourself… or they don't.

In every moment we simply need to ask ourselves, "Which of the options before me will help me to become the-best-version-of-myself?"

Welcome to The Matthew Kelly Foundation. You have been placed here in this place and at this time to celebrate your best self and to make a contribution. What will your contribution be? I hope that the materials and programs we provide here at the foundation will help you discover the-best-version-of-yourself...

With Warmest Regards,

Matthew Kelly
