“Combine Wisdom and Knowledge to make an impact”
~ Dr. Rick Rigsby Father
We can make an impact with our life or we can limit our ability to live well, limit our ability to live honorably, and limit our ability to be compassionate. The choice is ours; the real question has to be, “Why?”
Why would we ever accept doing nothing just because it’s easier? I still have memories of my grandparents, who were poor financially, but would insist they were rich from helping others. Perhaps the hardest question we need to ask ourselves; why does it matter?
We all recognize that every day we wake up is an opportunity to improve; an opportunity to make an impact. So I ask again, why should we ever accept doing nothing just because it is easier?
The answer is simple; we shouldn’t!
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
I know Dr. Rick Rigsby did.
