Daring Greatly
I read this quote this morning and it seemed to resonate something inside me. My hope is that it will encourage, inspire, and kindle the flames of greatness that are smoldering inside you too!
“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.” -Theodore Roosevelt

Tom,
Beautiful craft, great heart, thanks for sharing
God’s gift!
Wow, bro. That really humbled me. I feel in my heart now that I need to pass this onto my pastor who probably most times receives much criticism for his work and decisions. Including occasionally from me. Thanks for passing this quote on and keeping it alive. Many leaders need to hear this message of encouragement where ever they may be in their journey. Your instruments are beautiful, hope to be able to caress the strings of one someday
God Bless!
