Good intentions coupled with a bad method will result in bad outcomes.

When that happens, fixating on our good intentions won’t make any difference to the consequences of our actions.

The merit of what we do is always more important than the intention with which we do it.

The moment we flip that around, we cause harm while abdicating responsibility for the impact of our uninformed decisions on those who had nothing to do with our choices.

Sincerity and conviction come from wanting to achieve what we intended to achieve, rather than making excuses for why it wasn’t our fault when we fall short of our goal.

That’s when self-pity overrides our accountability and we convince ourselves that it was not in our destiny to have achieved that goal.

When we use destiny to explain our shortcomings, but accept praise for our successes, we lack conviction in who we are and what we stand for.

Conviction comes from sincerity of belief in the value system that we claim to uphold.

The moment that value system is open to compromise, we lose our bearings in life and become victims of the circumstances in which we find ourselves.

Conviction is impossible without self-worth.

And self-worth is impossible when we lack accountability while living our lives for an audience.

It always starts with you.

Goals would be pointless if they could always be achieved on our first attempt.
