“Whatever you’re doing, be all there.” Jim Elliot
I am not living in the past. i am not a collection of my past best efforts. Every second i have the option of doing my best based on my newly acquired taste of what it takes to be the best. i love being the best. i love perfection, or striving for it. i am not fake. im not going to be miserable by being negative. i am so happy with trying that there is nothing i will not try that would potentially get me close to where i want to go. i will try until i accomplish my goal. i will not have mediocre goals. i will know what the standard is just so i can blow it away. i will be humble and i will learn from the best. i will read and study the best. i will do whatever it takes to reach my full potential. I will have the best attitude. i will always try to reach my dreams even in the diversity of dream stealer’s. people with negative attitudes. people who always like to bring others down. the people who like to give reality checks. well. they can live a mediocre life if they want. They don’t know how to dream. Id rather dream a little and try little than dream a lot and try nothing.
William Dare 
And what is the “best” anyway but someone else’s ideal.
I say if you’re going to be idealistic do what you’re good at and be happy doing it.
i just spewed that out. i didnt get into what the foundations of my personal philosophies were cause i could ramble forever. but the best- or truth and its principles- or perfection- or full potential- yield the most return for your efforts. thats how i see it. and i suppose when the mind of a man enters into the equation it has to do with what his standards are- what he wants out of life, what hes willing to settle for, etc.,
i want the best. i want my efforts on this earth to reflect the most rewards from any ideal i strive for. according to my own convictions and what my experiences in life have taught me as valuable and worthwhile.
everything we say or do is a reflection of our heart and our thoughts. I want them to exemplify greatness.
