Saying “We’ve got to *do* something!” is not the same as doing something. Neither is worrying about it or complaining about it. Action is a category all its own.
Action is also one of our greatest antidotes to fear.
Here in the U.S. this week, we honor the life of Martin Luther King Jr., a stellar example of purposeful action. He focused on his core values, co-created a vision of what could be, then took conscious action to make that vision a reality.
He inspired us – and continues to inspire us – not because he sat around worrying about a situation, but because he did something about it.
This week, take a purposeful action.
