I May Not Be the Best, But I Choose to Be My Best-Maxim # 60

If we all gave up everything we weren’t the best in, we’d end up doing nothing except being the best at giving up and quitting.

Should I have given up real estate because there may have been a few better real estate agents than me? No, I should have fulfilled the place I had, giving excellent service, along with my wife, and help the people we helped.



 

There will always be people smarter and more talented than me.

I can appreciate them and be thankful for their contributions.

However, that doesn’t mean that I’m not gifted or that there aren’t unique ways I can serve God and others in His world.
