good better best
I woke up today and thought today would be a good day. Sure, it’s 25 minutes old (for me). I just think it is going to be a good day. That got me to thinking, is it good to be this optimistic or should I be preparing for the worst. Well, in any given situation I’ve always thought it best to prepare for the worst and work toward the best. However, I also have a very strong belief that the best is where I belong and where I can / will get to. Is this sort of optimism potentially causing me to not work hard enough to achieve goals?
Well, in my humble opinion, without believing that you can achieve the best, you will never, ever get there. Surprises about suddenly becoming good (or the best) at anything, without effort or concentrated focus, are really only apparent in movies. Natural ability most definitely is a precurser to the success of some, but it is not usually the determining factor. The work put into achieving a goal is the determining factor and without the belief that you will actually achieve that goal you won’t be able to overcome the plethora of obstacles that will surely come your way.
…and it’s Monday. Another week begins and I get to enjoy it! 
Chest tonight. I love chest day!
