Get beyond yourself

Invest beyond yourself.

Too often we get invested in our identities, building ourselves up into something great.

But we are limited. Trying for greatness within ourselves is a finite endeavor, constrained by the physical and temporal boundaries that constrain us.

If you work in such a way that uncertainty and fear transforms into vision and courage, if you serve other people before yourself, investing in others, the work lives on long after you have gone.

This is the way great work gets done. Forget whose work it is.
