Thoughtful Thursday

My husband has turned me into a talk radio junkie. My favorite show these days is the Dave Ramsey show. I am reading his book, The Total Money Makeover. It is amazing. Even if you don't need any financial advice, (but who doesn't?) the book is so motivating in other areas. These quotes have been my favorites:

"Most people won't change until the pain of where they are exceeds the pain of change."

"The enemy of 'the best' is not 'the worst.' The enemy of 'the best' is 'just fine.'"

I am definitely guilty of accepting "just fine." It's true that sometimes it is easier to be mediocre. Making changes and trying for "the best" can be hard. I find that it is really easy to get complacent. I need to step back and force myself to honestly evaluate how I am doing in different areas of my life and not be content with "just fine." Because we all deserve the best.

Just something to think about on this thoughtful Thursday.
