Smarter than I was yesterday

By Rusty Potter

We all start out as babies in life, a bundle of infinite potential. History has taught us that we as humans are capable of achieving anything in life. We have a desire to learn, a desire to create, and a desire to achieve anything in life. Every event in your life, even the difficult lessons, has made you smarter and wiser than you were yesterday. Every day you are alive is an opportunity to improve yourself. The biggest room in the world is room for improvement. Abraham Lincoln said, “If I had four hours to cut down a tree, I would spend the first three sharpening the saw.” Let us strive to improve ourselves every day.

Surround yourself with people who will push you to be better. They should be your rocket booster to success. If you want to accomplish big goals in this pandemic, you are going to have to create your own opportunities. Greatness does not have a ceiling. The sky and not your individual ceiling should be the purpose of your striving. Remember, you are smarter than you think. The only person you should try to be smarter than, is the person you were yesterday.
