Are You Making Progress on the Issues that You Care About?
One of the Kansas Leadership Center's Civic Leadership Principles is:
Our own defaults, how we would usually or unconsciously react or intervene in a situation, can be significant barriers to making progress on the issues we care about.
There is a lot to be said for this principle as well as the others in the list, but today I wanted to focus on the final part of the sentence - "making progress on the issues that we care about." I have realized that this is universally applicable.
Everyone wants to make progress on the issues that they care about.
It may be:
Foster children in the community
A new worship service
Development of one's children
Creating an effective committee structure
Living into God's dream for one's life
Availability of clean drinking water
What issues do you care about and are you making progress on them?
