"They didn't come for Martin Luther King. They came for themselves."
True. Martin Luther King had the courage to give his brilliant vision away. He shared it with people so they could turn it into their own dreams, their own values, and their own actions.
Today, we work to save the earth... help people learn... create art... build healthy lives... seek justice... all manner of good things meant to make our world a better place.
Yet, in our daily efforts to protect our organizations and our expertise, is it possible that we hold it all too close, and keep our determination, struggles, successes and pride to ourselves?
What would happen if we decided it was our job to inspire people not just to contribute or participate, but to believe? What if we knew we could only do that by openly inviting everyone to share in our satisfaction, joy, concerns, and even setbacks?
How would that change the way we think and the way we work?
