Davy Crockett was the only person I ever heard of who had a motto. "Be sure you're right, then go ahead!" I love the idea of having a motto, a rule to live by.
If you were to declare a motto for yourself, that is, a rule to live by, what would it be?
My motto is "Be Intentional." To me, that makes all the difference in living. I'm going to live anyway, so why go along haphazardly, knee-jerking my way through life, when I can get into the habit of having an intention (well thought out, hopefully) attached to the choices I make. It works for me.
At WOMCD, we have a motto: Because We Make A Difference. Realizing this verity acknowledges responsibility. To slide into "What I do makes no difference" is to yield to hopelessness and plop down the land of victims. Probably not a very appealing neighborhood. (Just a guess.) The whole concept and basis for WOMCD is everyone matters, whether they know it or not, whether they are deliberate or not.
If you're reading this, you're most likely interested in our philosophy and purpose.
