The Two Choices We Face

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.
