in #dsound7 years ago (edited)



Hello. I'm JustLibby and today I'll be presenting you with a mid-day motivation of a quote by Arthur Ashe.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

What a beautiful excerpt by the late Arthur Ashe.

This quote could resonate with anyone who feels emotional stuck where they are. Often times we allow procrastination, excuses, and overwhelm to hinder us from moving forward.

I've heard it time and time again from friends and family expressing their desire to start something new. Whether it be learning how to make better videos, play an instrument, eat healthier or speaking a new language, they all seem to have something holding them back from achieving their goals.

Arthur Ashe's quote embodies the spark we all need now and then. Sometimes, its a matter of just beginning with what you have and doing what is possible.

Arthur Ashe is no stranger to achievement. As a famed tennis competitor, in a sport that was dominated by caucasians at the time, Arthur felt firsthand some of the injustices suffered by African-Americans during his career. In 1975 Ashe became the first black player to win Wimbledon, and won went on to win several other Grand Slams in a stellar career.

World famous tennis player, Serena Williams attributes her motivation to the sport because of the impact Ashe's performance and demeanor had on her at a young age.

Ashe wasn't shy of the spotlight and used his esteem to raise awareness and fight against injustices on a global scale.

In addition, Ashe took up the cause of public health when the heart disease that ran in his family struck him. During his second heart surgery, Ashe contracted HIV and for the remainder of his life, he made it his mission to alleviate the fear and stigma associated with AIDS.

Arthur Ashe died February 6, 1993, at the age of 49. Even though its been 25 years since his death, his achievements, and contributions to the world, still live on.

This quote reminds me of another article I read - start with 1. Take each step as it comes, and stop worrying about the next step. Just add on to each step, and you will get there.

This has really inspired me. The little we have we can use it to do something good and sooner or later our life will life won't be the same.
