The Greatest Rewards

All of us have two distinct choices to make about what we will accomplish in our lives.

The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less, have less, read less and think less. To make less effort and practice less discipline.

These are the choices leading to an empty life. These are the choices leading to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.

Our second choice is to do it all, to become all that we can possibly be. To read every book we possibly can, to give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive, produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can.

We have the choice to do or not to do. To be all or to be less.

In the same manner the mighty oak reaches toward the sky, we have the worthy challenge to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. What would happen if we did all we can, every moment we can, the best we can, for as long as we can? What do you think we could be, do and have?

Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent, ability and desire will permit us to create. To settle for less is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings. What if original sin is the failure to live up to our God given potential?

Results are the best measurement of human progress -- not conversation, not explanation and not justification. Results! If our results are less than our potential suggests, we must strive to become more today than we were yesterday.

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

The choice is yours!
