You can go to any mall or park or tourist attraction and find those boards that say "You are Here". It's always comforting to know WHERE you are, but, have you thought about WHY you are here?
Seriously. Why are you IN the game? When you work or volunteer, that is the question you must ask yourself.Because, at some point, things are going to get messy. And difficult. And demanding.
So, for today's creativity prompt, I'm asking you to look at all the things you do and ask yourself WHY?
Are you . . .
involved to make a paycheck?
involved to help others?
involved to feel important?
involved to support a great leader?
involved to change the world?
involved to change your world?
involved to advance your career?
involved to be on the inside track?
involved to keep an eye on leadership?
involved to look good to outsiders?
Get out an old-fashioned piece of paper and write at the top, "I AM INVOLVED TO . . ." then spend the next 5 - 10 minutes writing down ALL the reasons you are involved. Next, CIRCLE those reasons that make you feel good. If you have more reasons that make you feel happy and good, then keep on keeping on. If there are fewer reasons that make you feel good, then a change needs to occur . . .
