Choices II - a sequel to Choices
Sunday, September 30th, 2007each of us has 2 distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. the first choice we can make is to be less that we have the capacity to be. to earn less. to have less. to read less and think less. to try less and discipline ourselves 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 wondrous anticipation.
and the second choice is to do it all. to become all that we can possibly be. to read every book that we possibly can. to strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. all of us have this 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 a tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can……….
an ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability. then, desire shall permit. to settle for doing less that we can do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.
results are the best measurement of human progress. it is not conversation or explanation or justification. it’s results….if our results are less than our potential suggests that should be, then we must strive to become more today than we the day before.
the greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of who and what they have become.
