John Mason wrote a very good book that I recommend you read: An Enemy Called Average. I learned from this book: 'Know your limits, then ignore them. The most unprofitable item ever manufactured is an excuse. Don't sit back and take what comes. Go after what you want' " (excerpt from her book, A Leader in the Making)."

It is right to be content with what you have, but never with what you are. Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have. Don't make the mistake of looking too far ahead and missing the things close by.

Rising above mediocrity never just happens; it's always a result of faith combined with works. Faith without works is like gold within the earth. It is of no value until it is mined. A person who has faith but no actions is like a bird that has wings but no feet. The Bible says, "Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead" (James 2:17 NKJV).
