The irony of The Right Thing

October 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Every so often you get the opportunity to make a statement about who you really are–bone deep. Most of the time, very few people are watching. Most of the time, nobody cares.

Often, (and ironically) however, making this statement still takes a measure of courage.

These opportunities are like little nuggets of treasure, because they are opportunities to actually act. To Verb. To do something, as opposed to think, believe, or intellectually value something.

Rarely will this action bring you fame or riches or anything you can see or touch. What it will do, however is ripple invisibly out into the world in huge waves–influencing countless lives along their path through space and time.

Remember this. Have courage. And act on your values and beliefs.
