The whole purpose of life is to grow, to evolve, to strengthen your character. To introduce yourself to the heroic virtues of bravery and authenticity, and humility, and honesty, and dignity, and service to the rest of the world.
You might say, well, Robin, I am a janitor. I am a pizza maker. I am a coder. I am a student. I am a young entrepreneur. I am an old teacher. This doesn’t apply to me.
Yes, it does. You are on the planet for some mighty mission. For some heroic purpose. Please don’t be seduced by your ego to say, well, I’m just a teacher. I’m just a firefighter. I’m just an entrepreneur. I’m just a manager at a Fortune 500 company. I’m not Nelson Mandela. I’m not Edison.I’m not Beckham. I’m not Federer. I’m not Kanye. I’m not Jay-Z. I’m not Lady Gaga. I’m not Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Be great in your own original way. Measure mastery, not by what society says you should do, but by how you’re living your day, how you’re conducting your life. By your integrity. By the quality of your craft. By your service to your family and your marketplace
