A Desire to Be Someone Even Better

    I would like to get this chance to say THANK YOU for those who read my first entry blog, "How to Find More Success last month of September.  I am grateful also to learn from you by sharing your success story in my comment section. 

    Have you ever felt sometime it's tiring? Have you felt that it seems like you are in the same routine everyday? and because of challenges that makes you physically exhausted  you even say: "I want now to quit! or when I can turn for rest?" Let me share to you my experience in my present job  and part time business and I want to focus my thoughts about a desire to be better. Like you I want to be in a better job, be in a better place, or even a better life style. That is what we so called a "BETTER LIFE" but somehow because of challenges and struggles  we had, this LIFE what we have we feel it seems like becomes BITTER not a better life anymore.

    Like other commuters one of the challenges that I'm facing in going to work and going back home is the heavy traffic condition. There was a time that I was compelled to walk for 2.7 km or about 34 mins. because it is raining and no public transportation available that time, all are full and because I need to wait for a couple hours for me to ride on the puv car or taxi I decided to walk. While walking and looking the cars passing by to me I felt a little bit sad for my self because of so much heavy traffic condition and a feeling of tiredness and I said to myself "is this a kind of life I want? Is it always be the same scenario again and again? Despite of having an exhausted feeling and wanting to rest, still I keep moving and I saw a group of vendors selling in the center of the high way road. Their eagerness  in offering their product catches my attention. I am wondering What motivates them in their work? and I answered my question in mind.. maybe because they want to live or they have family to support with. On the other hand as I think about those who are buying. I concluded that they are not doing this because they want to live neither just because of their family but also there are people who need their service. With their services that they are rendering they are also helping others.

    In my part-time business before we come up with our best product result. I made a lot of product testing  and trials. There was a time that I even got lost because I made of mistake in the way how we prepare it. But we never stop, we study different techniques and procedure and make a lot of research on how perfectly doing it until I met the satisfied taste and texture of our product. President Henry B. Eyring's devotional message, "Education for Real Life", May 6, 2001. He said:  "The change that comes is a desire is to be someone even better, to reach for more light and to give greater service to other. Those desires always lead to a hunger for education, to learn what is true, what is useful, and what is beautiful." What motivates me is my desire to be someone even better, to innovate until I reach my full potential not just because I want to live or to support my family but also to give an excellent service to others. 

    As we embrace what is useful and what is beautiful despite of having a lot of struggle in life we will become someone even more better. A life will be bitter we lost our motivation. Our motivation should be anchored from what is true and correct perspective in life. Remember the Why! Why you are doing this? Why I need to be someone even better? to be someone better in your life and in a business. Are you ready to be someone even better? Then don't quit! widen your perspective and someday you will find ways to turn for rest and find peace.
