To think you can creates the force that can.
Aspiration lifts the life; groveling lowers it. When we are striving for excellence in everything we do the entire life grows and expands, but if we allow our standards to drop, there is a natural progression that follows, a tendency for a downward effort in all that we do thereafter.
Put the uncommon effort into the common task... make it large by doing it in a great way.
Without continuous effort there cannot be continuous achievement.
