A
Dollar and Some Ambition
by Jim Rohn
Each
of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will
do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less
than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less.
To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves
less.
These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are
the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension
instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.
And
the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can
possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn
as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we
possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much
as we possibly can. All of us have the choice. To do or not
to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be
nothing at all.
Like
the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch
upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities.
Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the
best that we can, for as long as we can?
Our
ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our
talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing
less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.
Results
are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation.
Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results
are less than our potential suggests that they should be,
then we must strive to become more today than we were the
day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those
who bring great value to themselves and the world around them
as a result of who and what they have become.
To
Your Success,
Jim Rohn
