do hard things

I just finished another book, given to me by joey. it was really good. it was called "Do Hard Things" by Alex&Brett Harris. they are younger brothers to the guy who wrote "I kissed dating goodbye" and extremely amazing authors. They wrote to teenagers talking about how sometimes life just makes us think that we should be doing the norm, which isn't that hard for us...and we are called to a higher calling. we are called to do hard things. some things may be harder for others. like mine would be sticking a relationship out...or liking someone before judging them...or accepting people for who they are. others it might be to read the Bible more, or to head up a campaign when they are super shy. it is all relative to the person.

i did find some things that were quote worthy...not a lot. it was more of a book that made me think then a book i wanted to quote.

"God set His standards this high so that we won't make the mistake of aiming low. He made them unreachable so that we would never have excuse to stop growing" Page 101

"It's possible to be so concerned with what has happened in the past or so caught up in what's happening in the present, that we pay no attention to what God has for us next." Page 191.

it was an extremely good book. there was no hard words, but it made you think if you are giving your very best to how you live your life. am i giving my very best to school, even if it comes easy...why am i settling for the easy when I could be going beyond what people expect of me. am i trying hard enough in my life to make a difference or do I settle for being mediocre?
