Sometimes my efforts feel like a drop in the bucket…a very large bucket that will inevitably never be filled.

I need to re-phrase the bucket to make it more like a small cup, espresso sized or maybe even a smaller vessel. This helps me see the actual impact and stay motivated to continue to contribute.

With incredibly complex issues surrounding our Nation, we must redefine the vessel we are contributing to. It is vital for us to stay motivated and persevere. This doesn’t mean diminishing the problems or efforts but it means looking hard for where our work is impacting. Instead of reaching far away for impact I’ll be looking close to home for continued motivation.
