In reading a book about relationships, I found a sentence that stood out: "When someone talks about you behind your back, you want them to refer to you as first class."
What a great goal that is, to be thought of and talked about as "first class." I wonder how many people would refer to me in that way. Probably not a whole lot.
How can I expect them to see my efforts as first class when, so often, too often, I give less than my best? Many times, I think of something I'm doing as "It's good enough for who it's for." What a lazy and selfish attitude that is. Why don't I give my best, if not for others, then for myself?
There we are, back to lazy and selfish.
This I know for sure: if I want to be thought of as first class, I need to give first class efforts. To everything ... and everyone.
