The Best Things in Life

"That's good enough." We all say it to ourselves and others when dealing with a project. Buy why? Why settle when we know "good enough" rarely is? A greater question is why settle for a good enough life when a GREAT LIFE is obtainable?

In The Best Things In Life J. R. Miller addresses the Best Things and the path that can lead us to a truly great life.

"He who is satisfied with himself and with his attainments is not living worthily. A wholesome life ever sees better things yet to be reached. It is true, as Browning says,

When the fight begins within himself,
A man's worth something."
Being good is not enough; striving to be better is not the loftiest aim. Nothing less than the best should ever satisfy an immortal being."
J.R.M.
