Move Beyond

At weekends I am slowly reading The Story of Philosophy. Recently I came across the phrase PLUS ULTRA, which translates as " Move Beyond ".

Now imagine you are standing at the edge of the sidewalk. You want to cross the road to see your friend. To do so, you have to move beyond where you are, to cross the road to reach them.

If you want to achieve more, do more or be more, you must move beyond  where you currently stand. There is nothing else. You can read books, listen to motivational audios and speakers. You can take classes for the next four years, but unless you are willing to move beyond where you are, you will just be standing still.

You have two choices
Stand still and stagnate
Move beyond and achieve

Take the first step and move beyond.

Stand still and stagnate or move beyond and achieve . . . you choose
