Aim Too High

 "The greatest danger for most of us is not
That our aim is too high and we miss it,
But that it is too low and we reach it."

lol so true. I'm always worried i'm not doing enough or that my standards aren't high enough. If there's something better out there, I want it.

I'm only home from the December 21-January 1 for break (1st day of student teaching is January 2nd!). Do you want to meet up some place? I haven't talked to you in a while :( very sad...

I actually don't resonate with Michelangelo's quote at all. I've hardly ever been satisfied with what I've done. I appreciate gratitude and praise but Ive always taken it with a grain of salt because I've never been happy with what I've achieved. There will always be more.

If you always want what is better then what you have will never be enough. Or if you manage to be content during your life you will be always leaving people and places behind for the better that comes along. I'm not sure living for the better is the answer.
