I can do better than that

My old childhood nature is still very much a part of me today.
I attended a function last year and noticed that the event was very poorly organized and left far more to be desired. The other thing, I would be planning a similar function within a matter of months. So I wondered to myself whether I would have suffered the same fate.

Instead of allowing fear and doubt to paralyze me, I told myself, “I can do better than that.” This is something at least all of us have said at one point in our lives or another. True, there are some who also only believe the reverse which is, they can never do as well as others. If you are one such individual you too can cross over. I did many years ago as a child.

“More than most!” Is what others will say about you when you have done more, achieved more and become more than most persons around you. Once we tell ourselves that we can do better than that; it automatically propels us into a mood of excellence. “If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.” – St. Matt. 5:41NIV

We can always do better than we think; better than our initial response and we even exceed what we sometimes consider to be our best. The only thing which robs you from being better is settling for what you consider to be ‘your best.’I know I have got it within me, my Creator made me to have dominion; surely, I can do better than that.
