I have such a strong urge to make the world a better place. I desire so much to be a social innovator and leave the landscape behind me better than when I walked it. But the desire is often not enough.
It is easy to identify problems in the world. Africa needs water and food. Poverty. Plastic in our oceans. Energy crisis. Its difficult to look that problem in the face and create action, to climb the hill that is resources, buy-in, man power, money, etc.
Part of my problems is that I feel the need to innovate, to make some new organization or group, to solve that problem. Part of it might be my pride. I want to be the lead. I want to be in charge. I want to be a social innovator.
What I am learning from this game (all 24 hours of my access to it) is that I don't need to be the lead. There are enough groups or organizations and to truly leave the landscape better I need to help them. There are enough solutions out there, they need my voice, my hands, my abilities.
To be honest, I feel like this musing is coming out all wrong and I'm not sure if what I'm truly trying to say is "reading."
The point is I need to be willing to follow to achieve the greater good, because thinking about leading isn't really doing anything.
