Yes it is and the best we can is the best we can do.
Still Paul tells us...
1 Corinthians 9:24
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

What he is telling us... accepting our best may not be good enough to win the prize. We need put our full effort at all times and not just be accepting of good enough.

The camera snaps the photo finish... how much effort and desire to win do you see on the faces of the runners in the photo?

Yes... do the best we can but still press on to try and do even better tomorrow.
