Turkeys Don’t Vote for Thanksgiving!

By John Evelyn  |  November 24, 2010  |  Adversity,Blind Spots,General,Integrity,Leadership,Legacy,Purpose and Values,Sustainability

Thanksgiving 2010 is upon us. It nears the end of a year replete with catastrophes, wars, economic and political upheaval. The media successfully amplified issues, created pain and panic disguised as news, and pundits freely demonized others without restraint. Yet, above this soup of sadness are life, dignity, and the love we are capable of demonstrating.

“Who cares?” … “What’s the point?” … “What possible difference could I make?”… “I’m not sure it’s worth the effort!”… “Why should I help?” Do these sound remotely familiar? Do we know individuals who don’t believe that their actions matter for much? Do we or they subscribe that we’re all in a purely random journey through life or work?

How aren’t you doing? That’s right, how are you at what you’re not doing? Have you ever been asked that question? I hope so! How well do we choose what to do and what to measure?
