Don't Lose A Diamond While Chasing Glitter

By Evan Sanders


It took me a while to realize just how important it is to focus on quality over quantity.

Perhaps it's the society we live in where typically more is better and getting free things is an enticing offer. It's easy to get wrapped up in going for the cheapest thing on the table because it's sometimes the most accessible thing to grab onto. Thing is, this does not challenge you. This does not help you grow.

Life has an interesting way of only opening doors and opportunities to us when we expand past our current boundaries. When we look to bring the best out in ourselves, these doors open to us because we are seeing and experiencing life in ways we haven't before. But this only happens when we decided to take on a challenge that will make us grow.

I believe the great majority of people are disappointed in life not because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.

You have to be willing to make the sacrifices necessary today in order to see a better tomorrow.

You must be willing to put your name next to a goal and keep yourself accountable to it.

Above all, you must be willing to continuously raise the bar for yourself in order to become something great. Good is never good enough. Excellence is the goal.

When you let happiness find you instead of constantly going out and seeking it, life becomes a whole lot more interesting. Take some time to focus on improving yourself day by day and building your dreams. Eventually, as time goes on and you start tearing down the walls that protect you from putting yourself out there in the world, that happiness will find you.

There's so much out there about being happy, but I think anything, particularly when it's involved around an emotion, when attempted at "too hard" can basically end up being a disaster or completely inauthentic. I suspect, ultimately, making incremental changes to yourself and letting contentment find you because you're being the best version of yourself will deliver you more joy in the long run.

Decide that you are going to be something and go be it. Learn every single day. Be a good man or woman. Respect yourself to give yourself the best chance at living you can. This is your day and your world. You just have to go out there and take it.

But that's the thing that will make you great.

Be your own hero today.
