During a fireside chat, in response to a question, she said, “We must learn to live with the fact that there will always be some unachieved goals.” She shared that, in her youth, she didn’t believe this, but now, in her old age, she has come to accept it as a reality.
I reflected on this and grappled with it. How do I discern what I won’t be able to accomplish, and what I should leave for future generations to achieve? While I can’t say I have all the answers, I do agree that we won’t achieve everything before we leave this world—but we must not stop trying.
It’s essential that we do all we can, and if certain goals remain unmet, it shouldn’t be for lack of effort. So, don’t continue blaming yourself if, after giving your best, some things still don’t come to fruition. Find peace within yourself when you’ve done all you can, and it still didn’t happen.
A fitting example is King David, who, despite having the resources, was not permitted to build a tabernacle for God; that role was intended for Solomon.
In closing, recognize what your “best” truly represents. Sometimes, it’s not just about having tried; it’s about having prepared the ground for someone else to reach the goal.
Take care, and have a wonderful day.
