The person next to you is probably doing the best they can. But if they’re not, try doing the best you can to help them do the best they can.

It’s not that the bee hovers in the seemingly effortless way that it does that amazes me. Rather, it’s more the amount of air that it has to move in order to do that.

I yearn not for the easy path, but for the right path.  For 'easy' and 'right' are rarely compatible.

While real sacrifice is committed to the result, it relishes the effort

Far too often, the rewards for our efforts seem to be mere pennies as held against the fortune of time and sacrifice spent attempting to earn them.

I don’t necessarily sit around inviting life to knock me down, but when it does I don’t wait around for an invitation to stand back up either.

Simply giving something ‘a shot’ is not giving something our ‘best,’ for our best is made up of as many ‘shots’ as it takes in order to be our best.

It might be said of me that I could have done it differently or that there was a better way or that I should have waited when I didn’t. But what cannot be said of me is that I didn’t try. And without question, I would rather have tried and blundered in every attempt than not have tried to make any attempt.
