365QOD-Day149

"Streeeeeeeeeaaatttttttttcccccchhhhhhhhhh"

It is human nature to want to stay in a position of equilibrium.  Imagine yourself being a ball in a valley. 
If the valley is not very deep a small bump will take you out of there.  However, if the valley is deep then a massive push might be required.  Since it takes a massive push to get us out of a decent valley we should consider what valley we find ourselves or head towards.. 

Now imagine constantly stretching yourself by looking for the edges of the valley.  Since you are near the edge, the ability to get out of the valley is very easy to accomplish.

We must change our mindsets to always be streatching beyond our current state(valley) in order to reach new peaks.  We must look at every day and say to ourselves:
     I will always strive to be greater than I currently am.
     I must SURPASS MYSELF.
     In each successive act, test, encounter, thought, I will be GREATER than in the previous one .
     I am what I am now, but in an hour I must be MORE than I am now.
     In everything must I exert more power to surpass myself.’
                                                                                        (modified version of Mike Lutman's version)

We must get comfortable with being uncomfortable.  We must stretch everything!

Today's question is:
"Are you greater today than you were yesterday?"
