Well, I guess you could. But it would look really bad if one half of your hair was curled and the other half was stick straight. That's not really the point. My question is: Why would you half-do anything?
It doesn't help you at all to only halfway do something. It doesn't even make sense. You are given every opportunity for a reason, and that reason is not to halfway do it. Everything you are doing is in preparation for something else. And don't you want to be well prepared to handle anything life throws at you?
The Lord is preparing you for something great. He does everything for a reason. He gives us the opportunity every day to be extraordinary for Him. Live up to your potential. There are so many times in my own life where I have thought, "Wow, I wish you would have paid attention," or "I wish you would have done that as well as you know you can." We don't have to live that way. We shouldn't live that way.
Why do we settle for mediocrity? We all tend to think that if we do just enough, we will pass through life just fine. Do things to the best of your abilities, you were given them for a reason. Sometimes you can even do more than what's expected of you. It will be hard. But if we all went the extra mile just a little more often, I think we would all live the extraordinary lives we were meant to live.
