You have to make a life choice or decision…

June 29th, 2009

Each of us has two rather large choices to make about what we
will do with our lives.

The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the
capacity to be…

To earn less.
To have less.
To read less.
To think less.
To try less.
To discipline ourselves less.
To give less.
To love less.
To live less.
To grow less.
To learn less.
To teach less.
To take chances less.

These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the
choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension
instead of a life of wonder and anticipation.

And the second choice? To do it all…

To become all that we can possibly be.
To read every book that we possibly can.
To read every book that we possibly can.
To take as many courses as we possibly can.
To learn as much as we can.
To earn as much as we possibly can.
To give as much as we possibly can.
To share as much as we possibly can.
To strive as much as we possibly can.
To produce as much as we possibly can.
To accomplish as much as we possibly can.
To provide as much as we possibly can.

All of us have the choice. To do or not to do. To be
or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.

Like any plant, it should be a worthy challenge for us all to
stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our
abilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we
can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?

Our ultimate life goals should be to create as much as our
talents, abilities, and desires will permit. To settle for doing
less than we could do – is to fail in the worst way in life.

Results are the best measurement of our progress. Not “talk”!
Not explanations! Not justifications! Especially not Excuses!
… Results! And if our results are less than our potential
suggests that they could or should be, then we must strive to
become more TODAY than we were the yesterday and the day before
that.

The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring
great value to themselves and, more importantly, the world
around them as a result of who and what they have become.

Remember these 2 things….

The first step toward creating an improved future is developing
the ability to envision it.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a
lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.

I really hope that this post inspires and helps you.

Until Next Time, Take Care!

I Hope Everyone Had a Great 4th!!!
