Hello families,

This motto this week is:

Effort is a favor you give to yourself.

Effort is a favor you give to yourself. The effort isn't something we tend to seek out. We may seek out leisure, but no effort. A good life is measured not only by how much enjoyment and pleasure we have but also by becoming the best version of ourselves and helping others. We shortchange our potential when we bring the minimal effort to our life.

"Give your best effort because you are worth your best effort." ~ Denis Waitley

Many of our greatest joys in life will stem from our greatest efforts. Good relationships, a rewarding career, strong academic and athletic performance all require effort.

Effort brings some of the very things we value most in life. Through our effort, we develop our skills and share our talents with the world.

"The only thing in your control is effort.  That's all, and that's everything.." ~ Mark Cuban

Don't judge an opportunity as a bad one just because it requires effort.  Effort brings many rewards.  Your life deserves your effort.

Be good to yourself,

Danna Evans
