Reaching your best means refining yourself. Looking into the mirror and picking apart what you don't like. Deciding to do something about it. And sticking to it. Everyday. Especially when it's hard. And whether or not it's noticed or valued by others. Someone can be the reason you turned the lens on yourself but you're doing the work for yourself. The better you, the better everything around you. I work to be for those I love. It starts with me. I'm far from perfect but these people deserve the best I can be. The world has a way of testing you. What you present the world will be stretched. Holding on is painful. Do you really mean what you say? How about now that it's burning your hands like ropes between two horses? How about in the face of rejection? Ridicule? Will you mortgage your integrity, what means the most to you, for the convenience of hiding from pain? For fear of failing? If you do, then you weren't committed to begin with. There is and always will be a struggle to remain dedicated to what's most important. I try to reaffirm my dedication daily. I pray I remain strong enough to do so. There's nothing more important to me than reflecting back to the world my commitment.
