Ever higher
Don't let yourself get too comfortable. For comfort can drain
you of the ambition to follow your most treasured dreams.
It is great to be pleased with where you are and with how
far you've come. Yet even the most satisfying achievements
begin to lose their value to you as soon as they are
completed.
It is great to spend your time in pleasant, comfortable
surroundings. Yet there is so much more to life than
pleasure and comfort.
You are at your best when you are moving toward a
meaningful, positive and ambitious goal. As each goal is
reached, use the position you've attained to reach even
higher.
No matter how delicious, satisfying, and filling your most
recent meal may have been, before long you will need to eat
again. Learn to see achievement in the same way.
For just as food sustains your body, achievement helps to
sustain your spirit. As you work toward a worthy goal, you
more fully become the best you can be.
You've already made much progress. Reach ever higher, and
keep that golden momentum going.
