I ran across this, and it really resonated with me. Perhaps it will with others as well. This industry can be brutal and isn't for everyone, but for me, it's the most worthwhile thing I've ever done: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt Interscope, Inc. #perspective #motivation

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐭 This reading was part of an article that was published in 1900, in which Roosevelt emphasizes the concept of raising young men of virtue and character, and that if one were to become a good man, he must first be raised to be a good boy. 𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞, 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞: “Of course, what we have a right to expect of the American boy is that he shall turn out to be a good American man. Now, the chances are strong that he won’t be much of a man unless he is a good deal of a boy. He must not be a coward or a weakling, a bully, a shirk, or a prig. He must work hard and play hard. He must be clean-minded and clean-lived, and able to hold his own under all circumstances and against all comers. It is only on these conditions that he will grow into the kind of American man of whom America can be really proud.” In this work, Roosevelt extolled the manly virtues that every boy and man should develop: hard work, courage, and a disposition to do good. The glaringly obvious lack of 𝐌𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 in the today's world makes this speech even more relevant that when it was published 123 years ago. As parents, educators, leaders and mentors, let us seek to influence and raise generations of children in the image of the young boy Roosevelt describes.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐛𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐭 In 1910, a year after leaving his presidential office, Theodore Roosevelt gave what would become one of his greatest public orations. The most famous section of his speech still resonates and inspires, even today. 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 "𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚" 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬: "The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer. There are many men who feel a kind of twister pride in cynicism; there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticize work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities — all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The role is easy; there is none easier, save only the role of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance."

Reflecting on America's foundational roots, my latest article explores the significance of early dedication to God in U.S. history and its relevance in today's societal landscape. It highlights the need for renewed spiritual dedication in leadership, especially as we approach the next presidential election. A return to these core values could be the key to uniting a nation faced with loss of traditional social moorings. Let’s engage in a conversation on how this historical perspective can guide our future. #AmericanHistory #SpiritualDedication #Leadership #TraditionalValues #NationalUnity https://wix.to/yOrLIvg

Wow! Roosevelt's speech delivered in France, on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." 🔗 Serving Texas - kindly offering home/auto, business, and life.

What we do and who we do it for matters. Our actions are a direct reflection of where our heart is at, or said another way, our heart posture. Ask yourself this today. Are my actions reflecting the values that are core to my beliefs? Are my actions drawing attention to me or HIM? Are my actions serving HIM, or serving me and my selfish agenda? Today, let your actions be a billboard that proudly shows to the world, WHOSE you are, not who you are. More of THEE, less of me. James 4:10 NIV Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. C-Suite For Christ Minneapolis-St. Paul (Fellowship for Christian Executives Internationally) #servantleadership
