Whatever the outcome

Work to create your desired outcomes. Commit to those outcomes, focus on the specific efforts they demand, and persist in those efforts.

But stop short of allowing your outcomes to define you. Though your efforts and their effects add much value to life, they are not the essence of who you are.

If you fail to achieve an intended result, it’s not the end of the world. It’s an opportunity to learn, to adjust, to gain wisdom and determination.

Whenever you’ve been disappointed by yourself, by others, or by circumstances, the sun will rise the next day. Rise with it, and set about taking care of what’s important.

You won’t get all the outcomes you set out to get. Yet with persistence and a clear sense of purpose, you’ll achieve more than enough.

Don’t let misfortune stop you, and don’t let success stop you either. Whatever the outcome, keep going, and keep working to bring new beauty, meaning, and fulfillment to life.
