“It would be a great loss if a man or woman who could conquer great mountains settled instead for conquering little anthills.” - Anonymous
This is a plea to everyone who reads these words: Do great things.
Far too many times, we settle for the mediocre. Our lives remain unexamined, unchallenged. We choose the easy way. Our life remains unfulfilled. Our limits remain un-stretched.
We choose to be less than we can become - only because we never try to become better.
We choose a lesser life - because either we never try to attain a greater one, or we are afraid we cannot achieve great results.
It’s easy to choose the lesser life. It’s easy to settle for mediocre results. It’s easy to never push ourselves, never challenge our beliefs, never struggle to learn the great truths and think the great thoughts.
But the easy path is rarely the correct path.
We were made for something better - we were made to become great.
It doesn’t matter where you are now, or where you come from. What matters is where you’re going, and how you’re going to get there.
Since you are going to see the future, one way or the other, shouldn’t you choose to see a great future for yourself and your loved ones?
Greatness calls - and your future awaits.
