The Persuit of Excellence

What I have realized is that when you chose not to push yourself to achieve something it's not that you're lazy but because you don't believe in yourself. You don't think you're capable, so why work hard if it won't pay off anyways. It's thoughts like these that make us to settle for mediocre/ less. We are cutting ourselves short of true potential.

I really started thinking about this last night when I acknowledged that I am not studying and finals are so close. There is absolutely no way I can get a GPA over 3.5 if I continue like this. Then I came to the conclusion that I don't want to be like the majority of university students who settle for a B or C average I want more than that I want an A. There's a saying aim for the stars and if you fall you'll reach the moon but I don't plan on falling I want to be among the stars. If that means going the extra mile, studying until I fall asleep, skipping some of my favourite pass time activities, I will not allow that stop me from reaching my maximum potential because at the end of it all I will be so happy and satisfied.

You can be the greatest at whatever you do. You don't have to be average. Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability, anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Easy Road to Success/Happiness

Today I realized how the accomplishment of a simple goal can make you feel so wonderful. It doesn't have to be something major as long as it is something you have been wanting to do for a while and for some reason you just kept putting it off. When you finally muster the strength to go and cross that thing off your list you get a sense of relief and happiness. Well, that's what happened to me and I'm 90% sure it will happen to you too. Currently I'm attending University and I'm not working but I always love saving which I usually do out of my weekly allowance. But I find myself not being able to keep my savings for more than 3weeks then it's all gone. I knew that I want my saving to be long term so today I went to the bank and deposited a half of my allowance. It felt so good; and I thought, what if everyday I did something like this, crossing something off my to do list. Eventually, I'll be so in love with this feeling and want to keep accomplishing.

Prayer

Praying is a way of talking to God,a way of communicating our feelings to him, but most times we are selfish with our prayers. We ask God for what we want, whether it be forgiveness, healing, money or protection and do not pray for others who also need these things. I was guilty of this until one day I prayed for one of my friends who was sick and a bereaved family I did not know, but I knew of the difficult time they were facing. It made me feel great, knowing that at that time prayer was the only way and one of the best ways I could give support and try to help these persons. I just want to encourage you today to remember others in your prayer, especially those who you know are not able to pray for themselves because of their circumstances, non-Christians, bereaved, depressed and the sick. There are many ways to show your love for people, prayer should never be overlooked. Here are some lovely quotes about prayer
