There has to be something out there that inspires us to better. No one told Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant there was a limitation to the game of basketball. Lebron James must have missed class in physical education when they said that reaching 10 feet is as high as you’ll ever need to go. I’ve never seen a tree grow just enough.
What is it within certain people that inspires them to better? Why don’t we all have that? Some of you will never dunk a basketball, which is not a problem. But some of you also will never truly try… Which may be a problem.
I see students settle for mediocre all of the time. It’s disheartening. It’s disheartening because that’s not what we were meant for. We weren’t meant to be mediocre. We weren’t created for average. We were created in the extravagance of God’s own image. Can you imagine a less average option? I cannot imagine anything less average than God’s image. It’s like the Everest of creation and we were created in it.
So why do you settle? Why won’t you aspire? What inspires you to better? Why aren’t you reacting?
