If the work is worthwhile, then whether we can complete it or not, it's worth making the attempt

If the work is worthwhile, then whether we can complete it or not, it's worth making the attempt. That's why courage is important.

One hand

"We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand." Sometimes, the caravan (in the middle of a desert) met with another. One always had something that the other needed - as if everything were indeed written by one hand. - The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

No matter how many detours and adjustments it made, the caravan moved towards the oasis.

"The desert was all sand in some stretches, and rocky in others. When the caravan was blocked by a boulder, it had to go around it; if there was a large rocky area, they had to make a major detour. If the sand was too fine for the animal's hooves, they sought a way where the sand was more substantial... If a guide were to fall ill or die, the camel driver would draw lots and appoint a new one. But all this happened for one basic reason: no matter how many detours and adjustments it made, the caravan moved towards the same compass point. Once obstacles were overcome, it returned to its course, sighting on a star that indicated the location of the oasis." - The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who are alive.” - Howard Thurman through Think Simple Now
