Life is too short to live halfway!

“Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.”

-Greg Anderson

There are things in my life I have failed at....whether it was a friendship, job, or a goal I set for myself....if I failed it was because I gave up, fell asleep, lost interest, or it was removed from me....never because I lacked the ability or know how. If anything I have always been very goal oriented, and even though I've always been a bit disorganized...its a controlled chaos... :) ....but too many times in my life people have said that, "I shouldn't set my standards, goals, or ideology on other people". I was even told my standards were too high....

The Bible says to be "Imitators of God" and if i'm chasing that goal shouldn't my standards be reaching as well? I am supposed to try to be the best wife to my husband, and the best daughter, the best guitar player, I am supposed to try!! Its what God placed in our DNA to do things in excellence unto the Lord!!! UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!

I know I have failed...in so many areas...but what's wrong with chasing excellence and making sure the circle you influence desires excellence as well. I am the queen of acquaintances and my true inner circle is very few.....but even with that I pray that whoever you are that you see that life is to short to live halfway!! Too Short to Live halfway!!!

I won't apologize for chasing things i may never catch...i'd rather live this life knowing i tried, i fell, i conquered, i loved and lost! So in everything i do I try.....to be on time, ready to go, and ready to be who God has called me to be....in excellence, with fervor, and covered by Grace....by grace.
