It's a daily affirmation, "Don't Be The Best" is a negative look at a positive ego. Be the best you can be, don't attempt to be an unrealistic version of yourself that is unattainable. This is not to say that you shouldn't strive to be something that hasn't yet been seen before; however killing your spirit by setting unreasonable standards isn't helpful either.
