There are choices that we make while on our journey, they could be about any topic or activity that matters to how we get along on our journey. And yet for all that we get to decide on, the one decision that we should not think about is the effort that we put into our journey. It does not matter what our talent level is or how good, innately, we are at what we do. What does matter is to make the effort whenever we engage. When we make the effort, we give ourselves our best shot at what it is we are doing, and we feel better about how it goes from there. Our effort does matter to all elements of what we are trying to accomplish on our journey. It is the defining characteristic of who we are and how we feel. And it is all up to us. So, let’s make sure to put in the effort, every time, and we will walk away feeling good about ourselves and the outcomes that come from that.
