Spark of Week 5: Doing the best with what we have

Hi everyone! It is the 5th spark of the week. This is an initiative where I share a quote with you submitted by a teen! The quote is of hopeful nature with the intention to encourage a positive reflection and a hopeful way of looking at things. 

This week’s quote is by @Maeeeeebae999

Success means doing the best with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be." — Zig Ziglar

What a wonderful quote! Thank you Mae

This quote reminds us that we should be focusing on our efforts and whatever lies in our control as opposed to an outcome that may or may not be achieved. It reminds me of this quote ‘'For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.' by T.S Eliot.
