How you measure things will end up ruling you.
Perhaps that’s where we derived the name “ruler” for something that can measure something for us.
However you’re measuring whatever you’re measuring take some time to focus on the depth and not just the width.
Yes we see width, but we remember depth.
Width: look at what I did.
Depth: look at what this meant.
Choose wisely.
It all hinges on:
– people.
– time.
– imagination.
– change.
– hope.
May we constantly be aware of such things, for they are what open and close our doors to the music we make and lead us into leaving our worlds better than we found them.
Your excellence.
Your par performance.
Your excitement.
Your pity party.
Your outlook.
Your look inward.
Your encouragement.
Your discouragement.
Your belief.
Your disbelief.
Your pursuit of goals.
Your contentment.
These are just a few of the things we can’t wash our hands of, so be careful who you shakes hands with.
Chances are you were given disbelief by someone before you consistently spoke it to yourself.
On the flip side, look at where excellence is found in your life, and you probably can trace it back to a time where you were around someone who, well…sneezed excellence.
