"Don't be
afraid to give up the good for the great."
~Kenny Rogers
Good
morning!
Earlier, we talked about how in order to cross
the ocean toward our dreams; we have to be able to risk losing sight of
the shore. To me, this quote expands on that theme and also the theme
of "always doing your best". Often times, as we change, we hit
plateaus. Sometimes the plateaus aren't ones that we like, other times
they are very comfortable. We have made a step forward, a big step, and
we enjoy and reap the benefits of our hard work.
And we should. We deserve it. However, we can't confuse a plateau with
a stepping stone. It only becomes a plateau when we refuse to let it
spiral us upward something more. As Kenny says, we cannot be "afraid to
give up the good for the great."
Your turn: Take a
moment to pat yourself on the back for the positive strides you have
taken. Let those steps be a demonstration of the willpower and strength
you have within you. Then dedicate yourself to stepping up to the next
level.
Your affirmation: I let
go of the good and inherit the great.
