No one writes your name on list of the greats, but you. Nothing plants your plans in the enduring soil of life, like your own brave heart. No one will create a place for you, but your own self. Each man will carve out a place for himself, and choose the spot on which he stands, or he's nowhere, forever floating around in life, like a dry leaf caught in the wind. But you aren't a leaf, neither are you dry. You are fresh, brimming with brilliant ideas, wisdom, and bravery. And you are a tree, planted by the rivers of waters.
Somebody will take the great prize, somebody will take the gold medal, somebody will be number 1, somebody will be the first to do it, somebody will make history, somebody will do something phenomenal. Why not let it be you? If somebody will do it, why don't you be that "somebody"?
Today we wrap up the month of July and head into August as the Good Lord grants us. I pray that in the month of August, you will do something great, something that makes you number one, no matter its size or significance. Do something great, anything, for the first time in your life, for you.
You must taste this victory in August! I wish you well.
