When is enough really enough?

A man was driving along a rural road one day when he saw a three legged chicken running down the road. He was amused enough to drive along side it for a while, as he was driving he noticed the chicken was running 30 mph.
Pretty fast chicken, he thought, I wonder just how fast it can run. So he sped up and the chicken did too! They were now moving along the road at 45 mph!
The man in the car sped up again, to his surprise the chicken was still running ahead of him at 60 mph!!!



Suddenly the chicken turned off the road and ran down a long driveway leading to a farmhouse. The man followed the chicken to the house and saw a man in the yard with dozens of three legged chickens. The man in the car called out to the farmer "How did you get all these three legged chickens?"
The farmer replied, "I breed 'em. Ya see it's me, my wife and my son living here and we all like to eat the chicken leg. Since a chicken only has two legs, I started breeding this three legged variety so we could all eat our favorite piece."
"That's amazing!" said the driver "How do they taste?"
"Don't exactly know, I ain't caught one yet!"

We always have this tendency to have more, be more, feel more (somewhere in Quezon City) but the drawback is that once we don't get that "little bit more" we tend to get frustrated.  
You don't have to be my friend.

We were given certain sets of CORE abilities, strengths and talents.  The results we receive in life are based on how well we develop these gifts, and wanting more than what we already have is simply a deadly sin.

Greed.

You can be more by being true to who you are, with what you have and a daily passion to improve.

Talent + Skill + Time = Excellence.


You have more than enough.  God's gifts to you are sufficient, your gift to Him is to make the most of yourself with what you have.


Be excellent today and tomorrow's success will take care of itself.


Be blessed today friend.
