| Each
of us has two distinct 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 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? To do it all! To become
all that we can possibly be. To read every book
that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly
can. To give and share as much as we possibly
can. To strive and produce and accomplish 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
the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all
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?
Our
ultimate life objective should be to create as much
as our talent and ability and desire will permit.
To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail
in this worthiest of undertakings.
Results
are the best measurement of human progress. Not
conversation. Not explanation. Not justification.
Results! And if our results are less than our
potential suggests that they should be, then we must
strive to become more today than we were 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.
To
Your Success,
