Theodore Roosevelt said, "Do what you can with what you have where you are."

So many people just go through life coasting, going through the motions.

The great ones, the people who excel at work, who build great companies, the high achievers in life, they're always great stewards of where they are right now. They understand that now always leads to next. Because if we do a great job right now, that's what gets us discovered; that's what shines the light on our abilities, that's what proves to the people around us that it doesn't matter what I'm doing or where I am, I'm going to pour the best of me into this and I'm going to make this little part of the world shine.

Today, do what you can with what you have where you are. It'll pay big dividends, and it'll take you places that you never even dreamed of.
