Nancy's Writings

Never Doubt
By Nancy Hunter Denney

Never doubt you INFLUENCE others through your…

WORDS or by your silence, by your
ACTIONS or by your lack of movement, by your
KINDNESS or by your cruelty, by your
COMPASSION or by your conceit, by your
INVITATION or your elitism, by your
COLLABORATION or your competitiveness, by your
BRIGHTNESS or your boredom, by your
COURAGE or your complacency, by your
OPTIMISM or your lack of ownership, by your
CONFIDENCE or your insecurity, and by your
LEADERSHIP or your laziness.

Never doubt in the POTENTIAL of your PRESENCE to create a future characterized by EQUALITY, SOCIAL JUSTICE, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, and OPPORTUNITY; where all people can ACHIEVE, BELIEVE and DREAM.

Never doubt in the POWER of your INFLUENCE to serve a GREATER SOCIAL GOOD.

Never doubt that the PURPOSE of your LIFE is to discover the URGENCY of NOW, and to BE GREAT in every moment.
