If you are never scared, embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take chances.

Diligent efforts

by Ralph Marston

This world and the people in it are not perfect, and never will be. Your challenge is to live a good and fulfilling life in situations that are less than ideal.

That demands thoughtfulness, creativity, awareness and effort on your part. It is not easy, yet the good results you can obtain are worth the commitment you must make.

Systems break down, people disappoint you, catastrophes can arise out of nowhere to ruin your plans. Even so, go ahead and make those good plans, and follow through on them to the fullest extent that you can.

If you wait for things to be perfect, all you’ll ever do is wait. Though it’s fine to maintain high standards, don’t let them chase away the good, realistic possibilities.

Amidst all the imperfection, frustration and turmoil, many great things can be done. In a world that seems to actively oppose fulfillment, plenty of fulfillment can and does occur.

Step up to the challenges, because you’ll create great value by working through them. Opportunity may not be pretty and perfect but it is real, with real rewards for your diligent efforts.
