Big things begin with "small" acts

Everybody here wants a revolution, but nobody here wants to do the dishes.  Shane Claiborne

If you want something big to happen you'd better be willing to put your hands in and get them dirty.  The biggest things (movements, revolutions, etc) start with the smallest of acts and the humblest of leaders.  People won't join you in your efforts for change if you aren't willing to get down in the trenches yourself.  Don't be above what you are asking others to believe in and do.  Lead the way and do so while "washing dishes."

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
