Just wanted to add on one factor.
I mean, being a Christian, its obvious that despite how much we strive, technically, without the help of God in every way possible, we will still fail.
You know why?
Cause just like how STAR is Striving To Achieve Results, but the most basic question in, when we look into the sky, have we asked ourselves who created those brightly shining beautiful stars?
GOD!
So if God created stars, how much more we need him as we strive to achieve results, because a STAR is not formed without the CREATOR. We can strive, but without the source, we strive towards and for nothing.
So yea, add God, Jesus into the picture and the picture is PERFECT!
p/s: and I want to add one more, a song by switchfoot called "more than fine", just like my second point, don't settle for mediocrity and so so.. in the song, there's one part which goes "more than bent on getting by.... more than just okay" That's how it should be! Strive!
