To be aware of a single shortcoming in oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in someone else.

Pathway to fulfillment

Life is not about just getting by. Life is about reaching ever higher, building one achievement on top of another, and creating real, meaningful value in each moment.

A common stone on the ground does a great job of just getting by. You, on the other hand, are destined for much more spectacular things.

Yes indeed, you will most certainly encounter a whole lot of challenges when you make the effort to raise your world even a little bit higher. The good thing is, you are superbly equipped to thrive on those challenges.

If life seems unfulfilling, it’s not because of the challenges or limitations that stand in your way. It’s because you refuse to see the exceptional opportunities that those challenges represent.

This is your precious and unique life, and it is absolutely worth all the trouble and effort you must go through to make it great. Within you at this moment are beautiful dreams, and you can begin to live in the direction of those dreams whenever you choose.

Let go of the false security of just getting by, and get yourself focused on a purpose that will bring your life gloriously to life. Your very own pathway to fulfillment is just one quick step away.
