Most of us have heard this saying before: "There are no short-cuts in life." And from my experience, it's mostly true. Many times, there are no ways around a situation, and I have found that there are no short-cuts to success. I've learned that hard work can truly pay off and that there are big rewards that can come with it! Perseverance can get you to places you otherwise would not have been in.
It's sad that in today's economic climate, the corporate ideology is that of greed, cheating, and short-cuts. As a result, America has suffered. We are in a mess and are slowly digging our way out of it. I think America finally reaped the fruit of what it had been sowing for years: shortcuts to wealth. And we see the heart of America ripped open and visible for all to see.
I've learned that it starts with the individual. It begins with me and you. We can decide to be people of excellence. We can choose to rise above mediocrity. We can rise above moral laxness. Let me challenge us to be different. Let's be people who don't necessarily take the easy road, but the road that truly pays off, the road that comes with perseverance, dedication, hard work, and an honest day's work.
Dare to be different. Dare to dream big, and reach for the stars! If you shoot for them, you just might hit one of them, and at the same time, you will rise above the rest! I heard someone once say, "If you don't shoot for the stars, you will always miss." How true. If you don't have goals, you will never reach them. Let's aim for excellence in our lives! I believe we can make it! That's why I love the motto of the college that I went to. It was one word: "Excellence." That's what our professors always told us. Be a person of excellence. Not perfection, because nobody can be perfect, but excellent.
Today, choose to have this as the motto of your life. Believe in excellence. And when you do, you will notice the difference in your life and the lives of those around you.
Have a great and beautiful day! ![]()
