Giving Ourselves and Others Permission to Dare Greatly

In 2024, the team at High Impact is taking turns sharing quotes that are meaningful to them. February's quote is a bold one from staff member Alex Vazquez, Portfolio Manager, care of Teddy Roosevelt:

Here is Alex's explanation of what this quote means to him:
"I keep this quote close to me because it reminds me in my personal life that our efforts are what’s truly important. We cannot control outcomes nor what others have to say - but we can control our efforts. Life and especially our work can be discouraging because of not being able to see our impact in a way the moves the needle tremendously, but our efforts play a big part in moving the needle. Subconsciously, our efforts also give others permission to dare greatly as well. And together, we can move the needle of impact further than we can by ourselves!"

We hope it inspires you to dare greatly, too.
