Be Great! (Original Date: 6-6-13)

So in my last post I talked about how being mediocre is ridiculous and being great should be what we strive for..

Well I've been exploring that further (I think I'm in a stage of enlightenment, I LIKE IT) and I found this quote by Salvador Dali..

This will also double as a TWIB by the way! (I apologize again for slacking, life of the employed is so not a joke!)

Here is the quote..

First off let me say: YEEESSSS SALAVOR DALI! You are speaking to the people with this one!

So many people are just a waste of matter (not to be rude or anything) because they have so much intelligence and so much potential, but they don't have the drive to do anything with it.

Without work a goal is nothing but a dream, don't get me wrong it's okay to dream, as long as your dreams don't stay dreams forever. God did not give us vision and passion for no reason. The very thing you are dreaming about could help millions of people and you're just sitting on it.

I was at a bible study the other night and the teacher said "Your vision could be the Aspirin to somebody's headache.. How long are you gonna let them suffer?" So go ahead and answer.. How long are you gonna let them suffer?

If you can dance, sing, play baseball, WHATEVER! Don't waste your talent. If you weren't supposed to use it, you wouldn't have it.

If you continue to sit on your talent and just dream and don't put work behind them, you will look back on your life and realize that you have done nothing. At least not anything that you truly wanted to do.

So don't be a waste of matter and talent. Put work and effort behind your vision and dreams. Refuse to be a bird without wings, because what is a bird that cannot fly (sorry penguins, ostriches, do do birds, etc.) ?

Be great, and be happy, at peace, and joyful while doing it, because God did not give us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind!

Always with love,
