Good, Better, Best

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better best.”

We celebrate hard work, not sleeping and getting no rest. But truth be told , there are some things that you should give a rest. Some thoughts, some behaviors, some cycles, some patterns. 

There are certain things in your life that could truly benefit from a pause.

Like, you should quit trying to impress people.

You should quit thinking less of yourself.

You should quit procrastinating.

There are certain things in life that you need to not rehearse.

While on one hand there are things that you should give a rest, on another hand there are things that you need to push forward.

In kindergarten, I was taught a little rhyme. I didn’t know it at the time, but it was an old proverb. Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better best.

Some of us have taken a pause on certain things in life that we need to pick back up. We need to know when to rest and when to go after what is in our hearts to do.

Last year I started a Don’t Quit List, to remind myself of things that I need to start again and things that I can’t afford to give up on. 

Don’t quit on your dreams, don’t quit on your loved ones. I won’t say this often but, don’t sleep on what you are destined to do. Go after it.

One Verse

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. - Isaiah 40:31

One Thought From Me

Create a don’t quit list. Make some decisions on areas of your life that you are not giving up on.
