If you're going to take the trouble to do something, then do your best. You will never go wrong by aiming for the higher ground. Fads and trends may come and go, but excellence never goes out of style. When those around you are agonizing over how to do it cheaper, or with minimum commitment, or more expediently, put your focus on how to do it right. When those around you are searching for gimmicks, direct your attention toward real, lasting substance.
Quality will make you a winner. Commitment and excellence will bring you to the front. Pursue the higher ground. It won't be easy, and because of that few will even bother. But it will be best.
Relish the difficult challenges. They are the ones which will bring the most spectacular results. Take on the tough projects. They carry the biggest opportunity for excellence. Aim high, persist, and you'll most certainly get there.

Most of the things which hold you back do so with your assistance. Some things stop you only because you've decided to let them stop you. That's a sobering thought, and yet also a very liberating situation. Those things which you allow to stop you can just as easily push you forward, when you decide to let them. For every excuse which has the power to stop you, there's an equally compelling reason to move on forward. Challenge yourself to transform what were once your excuses into reasons for success.
It can be comforting for a while to sit back and tell yourself that someone or something else is preventing you from moving ahead. But that comfort soon fades into regret and despair over all the missed opportunities.
Even the very best, most reasonable excuses will add no lasting value to your life. That's your job! Success and accomplishment will happen when you forget about what might hold you back and focus on how to move ahead. Don't squander your efforts on propping up the excuses. Instead, give power and energy to your possibilities. Let the reasons you keep at the front of your mind be reasons to succeed.

Is fear holding you back? Fear of failure? Fear of success? Fear of the unknown? While a little fear can give a healthy dose of caution, fear must be dealt with quickly and confidently. Otherwise it becomes very destructive. A Whisper in the Wind came to me,,
When you fear something, if you dwell on it, you are giving that thing more and more power. Just by thinking about the thing you fear, you can cause it to happen.
That's why it is so important to conquer your fears.
One of the best ways to deal with fear is to put it into perspective. Ask yourself "what's the worst thing that can happen?" Many times, your biggest fear is the fear of "looking bad." This is really a silly fear, but it stops many, many people cold.
Or perhaps your fear is more substantial. Perhaps you are fearful of a financial risk. If so, then your fear may be telling you to be careful, and not to be foolish. The way through this situation is to look at your potential investment carefully, do the "due diligence" to make sure it is a solid, potentially profitable situation. There is rarely any financial gain without risk, but that doesn't mean we should take unnecessary risks.
Perhaps you've evaluated all the risks, and feel comfortable on an intellectual level, but you still feel fear. Again, ask yourself, "what's the worst that could happen?" Let's say that the worst that could happen is that you would lose all of your assets. That's very bad, of course. However, it's not the end of the world. Many, many very successful people have come back from just such a situation.
The point is, your fears need to be resolved. Sort of like taking out the garbage. Fears build up as a result of our activities. They're a necessary part of life, but if they stay around too long they start to really get messy. Acknowledge your fears, deal with them, and get on with what you need to do.

Today is the day when we pay tribute to the passage of time. Our planet has made one more trip around the solar system, and we call that a year.
Our perception of time is useful, because it helps us live our lives. Thousands of years ago, with technology that would be considered quite crude by today's standards, people were able to accurately measure and anticipate the various seasons of the year. The concept of time has been important for a long time.
Like any useful tool, however, time can be abused and misused. Excuses like "I'm too old to do that" or "I'll have plenty of time for that later" are a misuse of the concept of time. The first one assumes that there is never enough time. The second one assumes that there is always enough time. They are both wrong. Time is what you make of it. It does not make you or define you or rescue you from mediocrity. Whether you say "there's never enough time" or "there's always more time" what you are really saying is that you're not willing to make the effort to use time wisely.
Consider for a moment the possibility that time does not exist. That it is just a convenient concept, a theory, that has no basis in reality. What if everything you were, everything you are, and everything you are going to be, existed all at once? When you think about it, have you ever really experienced the past or the future? Sure, you have memories of the past, but have you ever been there? You have hopes and fears and anticipation for the future, but have you ever been there? The fact is, the only place you exist is now. What if there were no future and no past? What if you had to be everything you could be right now? How would that change you?
Time is a tool that humans have invented to help make sense of the universe. It is an extremely useful tool that helps us plan and organize and understand our lives. But time is separate from our existance, just as the hammer is separate from the carpenter. Though the hammer is one of the carpenter's most useful tools, though it helps him to fashion his world and accomplish great things, the hammer does not define the carpenter. Does the carpenter stop doing his work just because he has used his hammer for too long? No, of course not. Does the carpenter neglect to do his work because he has a new, shiny hammer that will "always be there"? No.
We must learn to use time for what it is without letting it hold us back. You don't have a lack of time. You don't have plenty of time. You have only the use of time. It's up to you to use it wisely.
