Invest your effort
Where effort goes in, meaning comes forth. When you invest time, thought, focus, and action, you end up with value and fulfillment.
Machines and elaborate systems can leverage your effort but they can never take the place of it. Because expending actual effort is essential to any rich, satisfying experience.
When everything is done for you, nothing of significance comes from you, or accrues to you. All the material wealth and convenience in the world cannot ever substitute for the experience of making a difference.
What effort can you make today that will provide real substance? Go forward with that effort and bring its many benefits into being.
Seeking to be completely free of effort is an empty and disappointing pursuit. Put your energy instead into making your efforts more effective, beneficial, and influential.
Giving your best effort creates goodness that reaches deep within you and extends far beyond you. It’s an opportunity you cannot afford to ignore.
