Shortchanging yourself is the greatest mistake of all

What was the most expensive thing you’ve ever possessed in your life up till this moment? A lap top? An iPod? A BMW 7 series? That limited edition Risis pendant? Mine would be the results I reap with my own effort, my own input. Not ill-gotten gains, not short-changing oneself, not coercing myself to surface the ugly side of human nature, and definitely not cheating. We’ve got to face up to the harsh reality in life that, hey, we’re our own worst enemy. Why cheat, when you can fail with dignity, with pride, and with recognition that you’ve done your best. In the end, the only one laughing at your folly would be yourself. Go get some water and wake yourself up.
