“I don’t cheat my days.” – John Maxwell
I confess. I’ve had days when I got by with just enough. Just enough talent, maybe just enough luck thrown in, to get the job done – to be merely acceptable.
But when I look at the times I’ve made a noteworthy step forward, or accomplished something extraordinary, I recognize the focus, the deliberate preparation, and the extra effort that made the difference.
I won’t cheat my days. I can’t run on autopilot and become extraordinary. I can’t just satisfice and see dreams fulfilled. I can’t add real value to myself or others if I cheat my days. Neither can you.
