Not just planning, but action…
Planning is one thing that needs to be done to solve the problems we face today in our communities. High School drop out rates, increased criminal behavior, joblessness and we can go on and on. However if there are only words spoken in meetings without movement, and if there are only meetings in boardrooms, but with no action, the problems we face will not cease, but they will continue to grow.
Our inability to take a stand and make a move is becoming one of our biggest hindrances for progress. We will continue down the downward spiral unless we abandoned what is comfortable, just talking about the issues. Stop talking and start doing.
I am thinking like Nike’s brand back in the day, “Just do it!” No need to wait for the right politician to get in office, we need you. No need to wait for a committee to decide what we should do, we need you. Stop waiting for the perfect timing, because it won’t come. Stop waiting for our knight in shinning armor, because he is not on the way. Collectively as we work together we become the superman or superwoman that we need, but until then we will remain as we are. Separated without strength.
