Live!

Sometimes
We try real hard to get something
We put in everything we’ve got
But when it doesn’t yield
We break!

Don’t try so hard
Some of the best things in life happen
When we least expect them
Work for the joy of it
Live!

Be Content, But Never Satisfied

Don’t try to be the best
Just better
Than you were yesterday
Slow and steady improvement
Wins over sudden bursts and lulls

Be content
But never satisfied
Keep improving
And make every day count
Everyone has their own pace

Mediocrity

Comparing yourself with someone else, trying to be like another is the shortest and surest route to mediocrity.

Why try evaluating yourself against an inaccurate standard? If you seek to constantly get better, try evaluating your present against your past self. While this may not be the best solution (which is not comparing at all) it at least helps you find the right measuring stick.
