To Be, or Not To Be?

  Be that to which others look up to attain, Be something of value, of richness to gain; Be someone who’s higher, above what’s below, Be upright, authentic, and trump status quo.

Be that to which others look up to attain,

Be something of value, of richness to gain;

Be someone who’s higher, above what’s below,

Be upright, authentic, and trump status quo.

    inspiring, dearest Mel!

      Thank you Heidi! My better self hopes and strives for better things – and my lesser self likes to sabotage my progress. It’s good to remember those higher places that we could reach with a little concerted effort – and a lot of grace!

    Some days it’s a tall order–thank God for Grace.

    Cute kitty! This makes me think of another blogger’s post. She said something along the lines that she wanted to be the wonderful person her dog believed her to be.

      HA! Much the same thing, isn’t it? 🙂 That’s adorable.

      Thanks Lauren! Sometimes we need to be reminded of the bigger picture, the importance for each of us to be constantly reaching to attain those higher ideals, to strive for a new kind of excellence.

    That’s great inspiration.

      Thanks Lyle! A world where all of us were reaching for that higher place would be something else entirely – a lot to reach up to!

      Thanks Geraldine. Imagine a world where each of us reached for our highest selves on a daily basis? Wow…
