Best
Good. Better. Best. I can admit that I have settled for good. I've been content with better, and yearned for more. Best is God's more. Most of us are happy with our good lives. We have good jobs, good cars, and good kids. Most of us are grateful for better jobs, better homes, and better opportunities. But, there's more. What if we were our best selves? What if we maximized every opportunity? What if we didn't settle? What would we look like living our best lives? Now, is the time to be great. Now, is the time to do our best and be our best.
Quintessential
What are you made out of? At your core, what is your essence? What word would be used to describe you? What's your legacy? If you were to die today, what would they engrave on your tombstone? You were created to become your best self. You are the archetype. The original. The one, the only. You were created to the quintessential version of you. Be great!
Great
Today is my 36th birthday, and I can admit that 36 does not look the way I thought it would. In my mind, I thought I would have done more, been more, have more. It's amazing how we can be so critical of ourselves. The truth is I do have more. I am happily married to a man I adore. I have two beautiful daughters. I quit a job I hated. I am happy. I have more love, more peace, more time, more freedom, and more joy. Today is a great day because I am not defined by my accomplishments. I am discovering that who I am is defined by the more I have yet to become. There's more. 36 is good, but 37 will be great. Here's to greatness....
"There are two great days in a person's life, the day we are born and the day we discover why." -William Barclay
Epiphany
What happens when you realize you deserve more? What will you do when you accept that you were created for more? Who will you become when you recognize you were destined for greatness? Will you stay on that job you hate? Will you leave that toxic relationship? Will you try that thing you always wanted to do, but was too afraid to try? Will you not just knock on the door of opportunity, but actually walk through it? You deserve it. You were created for more. You are destined for greatness. Now, is the time. This is your epiphany. You know better. So, do better. Overcome your fears. Step out. Do it! No more excuses.
