Highest effort

There are easy things to do and there are good things to do. Rarely do they overlap.

When it’s necessary for you to go to some trouble, there’s value to be gained. Whatever requires your effort has a way of also fulfilling your purpose.

You have a deep and continuing yearning to make a difference. There will be a cost for doing so, and genuine reward as well.

Meaningful, productive experiences are well worth the price you pay. Be willing, eager, and able to bring those experiences to life.

What you get for nothing is not anything you really want to have. Give your days real value by using them to create and maintain what’s truly worthwhile.

Respect and draw benefit from the great possibilities that surround you. Offer your highest effort and commitment to them.
