You and I have the power to influence our inner circles, and the ripples we leave beyond our immediate spheres. The way to do that, the way to have a positive, powerful impact on the world around us, is to get involved in it. Oftentimes we “excuse” ourselves from civic service, thinking it will be someone else’s job. And it very well may be. But will they do the kind of job that best suits the future? Or do you have more of a leadership responsibility than you gave yourself credit for?
