And then some

"When we have done our best, we can await the results in peace."
~Unknown

I don't know who said this, but I do know that they were right on target. Let’s look at goals for example. We set goals for many aspects of our lives. It keeps us focused on improvement and the important parts of our lives. Small goals or big goals. Personal, career, spiritual, family, or health.

We set our goals with unbridled enthusiasm. Some we meet, some we do not. There is a great feeling of peace when I know in my heart that what I have given to accomplish my goals is my best. Win or lose, sometimes it does not matter because we become even more prepared for life.

Committing to excellence is not an act, it's an attitude. It's an attitude that is captured in this short thought titled:                  And Then Some.

"And then some...
These three little words are the secret to success.
They are the difference between average people and top
people in most companies.
The top people always do what is expected...
and then some.
They are thoughtful of others; they are considerate
and kind...and then some.
They meet their responsibilities fairly and squarely...
and then some.
They are good friends and helpful neighbors...
and then some.
They can be counted on in an emergency...
and then some.
I am thankful for people like this, for they make
The world a better place. Their spirit of service is
summed up in these three little words...
And then some."

If we carry the attitude of "And Then Some"...throughout our life when our time on earth is almost gone, we will wait for the results in peace.
