About This Quote

The change was made in me; the thing was done. Well or ill done, excusably or inexcusably, it was done. In your life, you will have times when you feel as though you have been changed. This is sometimes a good thing and sometimes not so good.

In those moments when you feel that you have been changed for the better, those are the moments that will bring the greatest glory. It’s those times when you feel as though life is a struggle and the fight is lost but somehow life wins anyway. When it seems as though things can never get better and you begin to wonder why it is that things seemed easier in the past, those are also the times when you felt as though life has been changed for the worse.

In those moments, remember these words from Nelson Mandela: “Well or ill done, excusably or inexcusably, it was done.” It doesn’t matter if something was well or ill done if it was still done at all.
