William James said to act as if what you do matters, because it does. Your actions ripple through personal and professional relationships even when you can't see the outcome. Choose to act with awareness that you're affecting people around you.

William James said, act as if what you do matters, because it does. There are times when what we do, we don't see the direct outcome, we don't see the direct effect, and maybe we then think, ah, it doesn't really matter if I do this thing or the other thing. But whether it's in our personal life or in our professional lives, everything we do matters. Everything we do affects somebody else. So whatever you do today, know that it matters. Know that it can have a positive impact. Or a negative impact on someone around you, and act accordingly. Act as if it matters.
