Always Work on Yourself

I heard a quote by Abraham Lincoln once when he said "If i had seven hours to chop down a tree I would spend six sharpening my axe"

When I heard that I thought alot about what I am doing on a daily basis to sharpen my axe. What I mean is everyday we dont do something to get better thats another day we didnt get any better. If you have a goal of some accomplishment then you must be willing to get better every day. Lets face it the world doesnt owe any of us anything, we are the ones who owe and I believe it is our responsibility to make ourselves into the best versions of ourselves in order to do this. As human beings we all have our uniqe callings in life and whatever that may be dont take it lightly, you were given your gifts for a purpose.

I would have to say one of the worst things we could do on this planet is ignore these gifts and choose to scoot along in life. Unfortuantly so many people do and because of this they are unhappy and unfulfilled. If you want more out of life than work harder on yourself than you do on your job. Be willing to be a little bit better today than you were yesterday. Success in life is never given to those who pray at night and sleep until noon each day. You cant expect great results without great effort. We have the choice to spend our day in lower activitys that keep us from moving up or higher activitys which propell us to move up. If each of us got up an hour earlier each day, opened up a good book, exercised a little more, ate better food, treated our family a little better we would be a much better world.

Whatever aspirations you have in your life dont doubt yourself by spending your time in negative activities. If you want to have success in your life be a little bit better each day. I myself was reminded of this not long ago and realized I had fallen prey to some down spiraling habits. I am thankful for the higher power reminding me that none of those things will aid me in my mission of daily self improvement. So remember a tree never grows in one day, it takes years of watering and sun light to flourish. Each day to a few positive action steps to grow into the person you envision.
