The irony is that the person not taking risks feels the same amount of fear as the person who regularly takes risks.

Diligence resonates

by Ralph Marston

Make something beautiful, even if no one will ever see it. Do what’s good and right, even when no one is watching.

Because you are watching. And your conception of yourself benefits from the beauty and genuine care you put into life.

Your small, private, unheralded actions have an impact on your other actions. Diligence in the small moments will build strength to take on the big challenges.

No one notices all the little things you do. Yet everyone can see the person you become as a result.

You are the culmination of every effort, every choice, every thought, every priority. As a consequence, you have a continuing stream of opportunities to improve the quality of your life.

Embrace those opportunities, one after another. Give to them your best, and the diligence resonates throughout your world.
