Meaningful effort

Even when nobody else cares about the good things you do, that’s okay. Because you have the opportunity to care, and to make a difference.

The point of effective effort is not to impress others. The point is to give your best, to spend your time in meaningful and valuable ways.

It’s not the cheering crowd that makes a winner. It’s the commitment, the persistence, the execution of fruitful actions day after day.

Certainly you experience a sense of achievement when you’re recognized for the good work you do. Yet doing the work itself is when you experience the fundamental reality of achievement.

The results do matter. What matters just as much is your contribution to those results.

Whether you have permission, recognition, assistance, encouragement, or none of them, you’re able to extend sincere, dedicated, meaningful effort. Give your best, and live at your most fulfilling level, no matter what.

— Ralph Marston
