Satisfied or Motivated

A few years ago my staff went out to lunch at a Chinese restaurant.  When the meal was over we all broke into our fortune cookies.  One of my guys read his which said, "Life could be better, but this is good enough."  The first response was laughter, followed by contemplation.  If you know that your life could be better why would you settle for good enough.

As we approach another new year and people are making their resolutions (most of which will be broken), do you want "better" or "good enough"?

• I know my job could be better, but this is good enough.
• I know my marriage could be better, but this is good enough.
• I know I could be in better shape, but this is good enough.
• I know I could be a better parent, but this is good enough.
• I know my retirement plan could be better, but this is good enough.
• I know that my relationship with God could be better, but this is good enough.
• I know my life could be better, but this is good enough.

Why do we settle for "good enough" when things could be so much "better"?

Jesus said that he came to provide a life that is so much better.  "The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come to give you life and life to the fullest.  (A Better Life) " John 10:10

What are you going to do to give yourself a chance for "better"?
