Today I had the pleasure of addressing a group of Hometown Heroes – people in our community who have made it a better place to live.

I introduced the quote below and thanked them for tapping in to their own power to make a difference in our community – helping people get food, housing, medical treatment.  Raising money.  Saving lives.

It’s important to do the same in  our every day office lives.  It’s easy to say:

• I don’t have enough information to do my job.
• They won’t ____ (fill in the blank).
• They are making me feel _____ (fill in the blank).
• There’s nothing I can do about _____ (fill in the blank).
• I’ve tried and tried and nothing works.
• I have no control.

Okay – I’ll admit it. I’ve heard the same phrases in conversations with myself.

We have no power. We might as well give up or give in.

Please don’t give up OR give in!

Post this week’s quote as a reminder that we all have power.

We might just need a little help finding it and using it.
