Are you more than "average?"



“Life is a series of collisions with the future.”

Because of this daily collision, we owe it to ourselves to remember:

The goal of life is to live, not just exist.  Andrew Carnegie observed: The average person puts only 25% of his energy into his work. The world take off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity and stands on its head for those few-and-far between souls who devote 100%.

Let us resolve to be more than average.  Being average means that you are as close to the bottom as you are to the top.  Being average is being the best of the worst and the worst of the best.

GOD CREATED US TO BE MORE THAN “JUST AVERAGE.”

"WHAT IS THE COST?"



The cost of excellence is discipline.
The cost of being “just average” is disappointment.
It is better to master one mountain than to climb a
thousand foothills.

            You and I must decide:
                        WHETHER WE WILL BE ENGROSSED
                                      BY THE TRIVIAL
                                                OR
                                                 ENRICHED BY THE ETERNAL.

We must choose to fill our moments with faith in God to prevent our years being packed with fear.  Daily devotion to the Creator will prevent our lives being undermined by nagging doubts.

‘FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN.” (Ecclesiastes 12:12)
