You can only do your best. That’s all you can do. And if it isn’t good enough, it isn’t good enough.
Meaning of the quote
You should always try your hardest and do your best. That's the most you can expect from yourself. If your best effort isn't good enough, then that's okay. You shouldn't worry about it or be too hard on yourself. The important thing is that you gave it your all.
