I have recently included two new blogs that I am following. This is an excerpt from one of them....enjoy, this is good stuff.
Precisely Acceptable
The way your life is right now is Precisely Acceptable to you. How do I know? Because if it wasn’t acceptable to you, then you’d do something to change it. Therefore it is, by definition, acceptable.
Acceptable doesn’t necessarily mean good and it certainly doesn’t mean it’s how you want it; it just simply means that it is a luxury and not a necessity for it to undergo change. Acceptable is dangerous because acceptable is synonymous with mediocre or convenient. Acceptable means just good enough to not make changes.
Therein lies the challenge and the call to become more self-disciplined. Self-discipline requires an ambition to move beyond what is convenient towards something that is spectacular. Self-discipline means you reject what is merely acceptable in lieu of striving towards a life that is marvelous.
Self-discipline is a calling to ignore the escalator and instead take the stairs.
See you in the stairwell,
