I Will Do More

I will do more than belong, I will participate.
I will do more than care, I will help.
I will do more than believe, I will practice
I will do more than forgive, I will forget.
I will do more than teach, I will inspire.
I will do more than dream, I will work.
I will do more than give, I will serve.
I will do more than earn, I will enrich.
I will do more than live, I will grow.
I will do more than be fair, I will be kind.
I will do more than be a citizen, I will be a patriot.
I will do more than be friendly, I will be a friend.

~ William Arthur Werd

These beautiful words of wisdom and inspiration encourage us to be do our best and be our best.  Every line gives us something to think about and apply to our lives.

I will do more than belong, I will participate.
We all belong to a family, a team at work, school or play, a group of friends, an organization or club, etc.  We participate when we get involved and share of ourselves - our ideas, time and energy.  We can do more by being active participants in every area of our lives!

I will do more than care, I will help.
It is one thing to say we care, but it is quite another to actually do something about it.

I will do more than believe, I will practice.
Again, we can put our faith into action. We can do more if we are willing!

I will do more than forgive, I will forget.
We may not "forget" in the literal sense of the term, and that is not what I believe is intended here.  Rather, we can "forget" in the sense of "letting go, releasing." 

I will do more than teach, I will inspire.
This brings to mind another awesome quote by William Arthur Werd that says it all: "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires."  

I will do more than dream, I will work.
Dreams are just the beginning.  If we want to see them manifested in reality, we must do our part and work which incudes planning, setting goals and believing! 

I will do more than give, I will serve.
Giving and serving go together, especially when we give with a cheerful heart.

I will do more than earn, I will enrich.
Earn is defined as: to receive as return for effort and especially for work done or services rendered (Merriam-Webster Dictionary).  We earn money for work done, but when our work enriches others, we also gain much more than money. Our reward is priceless.

I will do more than live, I will grow.
If we keep growing mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and if we keep learning, we will live fully and not merely exist.

I will do more than be fair, I will be kind.
This quote comes to mind: "In life you  can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with. ~Brian Tracy   Beautifully said!

I will do more than be a citizen, I will be a patriot.
Anyone can become a citizen of a country, but that does not mean that they love and support their country and are willing to support it. That is a patriot!

I will do more than be friendly, I will be a friend.
We can be friendly without liking someone, but we cannot be a good friend to someone we do not like. What does being a friend mean to you?

I hope you enjoyed this beautiful poem by William Arthur Werd as much as I have. May you let it speak to your heart, and may you be blessed!  Krystal
