Most people frown on the concept of ambition, especially when it gets in the way of more practical or realistic things. Keeping everything the same is a lot easier and less prone to conflict, resistance and mistakes. But all of that is simply an opportunity to pursue what's truly better for more ambitious...and Better People.
That's a hint of everything that's included in our Quote of the Week, "The more ambitious we are, the more grace we need, especially when we share ambitions together." https://betterforyoubooks.com/better-quotes

Did you know that every strength is a corresponding weakness, and every weakness is a corresponding strength? It all depends on our circumstances. If you are fast, you have a harder time being slow, and if you are tall, it's harder for you when being shorter is better. We're always much better together than apart because we are more likely to have the strengths required, instead of the limits imposed by our weaknesses alone. That's some of the inspiration behind our Quote of the Week from the Better book, "everyone has something valuable to contribute when we focus on strengths instead of weaknesses."

Synergy is the magic that happens when 1+1>2, when together we are truly better than apart, and where relationships blossom and significantly add to the quality of our lives.

Too often, people equate motion or change to progress, but it's only truly better when it adds lasting value. Feelings only last a few minutes, and whatever we consume goes away, but when we produce something worth remembering, or anything that grows value that doesn't fade, only then...are we truly moving forward. That's the inspiration behind our Quote of the Week, "movement isn't progress...unless it's truly better." https://betterforyoubooks.com/better-quotes

How can we know how well we're doing without some means to measure it. Feelings inform us, but how do we inform others about how we feel...and how much we feel it...or what our feelings are based on. Feelings are too difficult to accurately share...without standards.

Everytime you look at something, you see far more than you’re consciously aware of, from your peripheral vision (the stuff surrounding what you’re focused on) and smaller details, to the degrees of confidence and values ...
