There are no guarantees.

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

This is a Ridiculous superfluous question. There are no guarantees. That is one of the biggest and most important lessons in life. To be able to honestly accept reality and still do your best regardless of unknown outcomes. Now is the magic moment to live. No matter what it is. And no matter what your circumstances are, life deserves Your Best Shot, today! With or without guarantees!

Giving 100% & striving for your loftiest performance, in spite of unknown efficacy is called courage. Being willing to aim high, despite uncertain potential results is part of the magic of life.

I Shudder when people live in the realm of “someday when” and “if only.” Daydreaming about the possibility of guaranteed results is part of the sickness that assaults the human soul – from the discovering the true meaning of life. I call it imaginary panacea. Many live in the hope of some eventual reality, without ever discovering the magic and wonder of their life today – which is their life!

Revolt against waiting for the hope of guaranteed results. Aim your highest. Give your best.

How do you do that? Seek perfection of character continuously. Even if the results don’t turn out the way you want. You will be the man the woman you ought to be.

Do the next right thing. Now.  Don’t give expectation thinking root in your head. There are no guarantees.

Humorous note: my wife said she would buy a lottery ticket if she was going to win!
