The powerhouse of inspiration Maya Angelou said it perfectly: "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." She also shared, "All great achievements require time." Great things take time. However, they require action to reach their fulfillment. As she expresses here, "Live your life in a way that you will not regret years of useless virtue and inertia and timidity. Take up the battle." This is your life. Make what is yours count.
Patti Smith: "Build a Good Name."
Value your purpose through conscious action and pursuit of what you love. Be uncompromisingly relentless, especially when you see what others can not. What matters is to know what you want and to pursue it. What nourishes that is building a good name. Your name is its own currency. Cherish these words from Patti Smith, and cherish the value that comes from building a good name.
