‘in the beginning, charisma may propel you forward, but it is strength and refinement of character that carries you beyond the limitations of an ordinary life. that is, to be lifted out of a life of complacency, one in which there is little progression or growth, we must be more than ambitious … we must act on intentions and goals.
we must have our priorities in order. we must be humble enough to seek out the will of our heavenly father before seeking our own. we must have self-discipline, integrity, and compassion. we must not only be willing to serve others, we must make time to do so. we must be able to laugh at our mistakes, learn from them, make amends if needed, and move forward with hope regardless of what obstacles we face.
through action, we bring ourselves into a life that expands beyond our greatest hopes and desires. but now is the time to act – do not delay. life is waiting for your decision. once you’ve made your choice, it waits no longer … you will be left to remain where you are, or to chase after it until you catch up again, where you will find that although you may still enjoy an extraordinary life, one of fulfillment and joy, you will have paid a heavy price of many lost opportunities.’
