“Just do it” – some shoe company
A little note to myself but thought I’d put it out there in case anyone else is a functioning yet semi-pro head case like me.
Luck, talent, ability, genetics, golden spoon… yeah some folks get ahead start. Many squander it, myself included, at times. I often find myself searching for the value, the lesson, the moral of most if not all situations and interactions. Then it hits me… who the f*ck cares. The doing is what matters, not the thought. My old man always used to ask me “wish in one hand and shit in the other.. which one get fullest fastest?” Not as eloquent as Teddy Roosevelt’s “The Man in the Arena” speech but the sentiment is there.
It’s the doing, the going, the ACTION that will impact and change you and those around you. Whether it’s for business, family, fitness, whatever, no one remembers your intent but they surely remember actions. Be rememberable.
You won’t succeed all the time, hell maybe not even half the time but the lessons that come from the doing, that’s where value and purpose come together.
The late, great Tom Petty once said “…baby, even the losers get lucky some times.”
So go and DO!
