Moving From Good To Best

Moving from Good to Best

People who have learned the habit of making good choices may feel satisfied that their work is done. But the life that matters requires a higher standard.

Perhaps you feel you’re doing well in not responding in anger when you used to always lose your cool. However, what’s best is not just keeping your cool, but also being the first to offer a kindness or admit you’re wrong. Maybe you’re now making good money choices and not buying what you want when you want it. What’s best is not just stopping unwise spending, but starting a savings account and giving more to charity.

Moving from good to best in your choices is where you should be headed. It’s also the way to safeguard your choices from ever becoming bad choices again. While it is not always the easiest path to walk, it does make it more possible to live the life that matters.

“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. —1 Corinthians 6:12
