Stay In The Game – Why Working For Change Matters Even When You Think It Doesn’t

Are you working on important issues of the day and dismayed by election results? Here’s a reminder to Stay In The Game. It’s hard when you want your life’s work to be measurably impactful and you keep getting nothing. The arc of history is long AND it bends towards justice but I believe that if we remain attached to outcomes instead of staying connected to the underlying reason(s) WHY we do what we do (hint: the answer is in your heart) – suffering will be the result. Keep at it, people. And do it for the love, not the results. Keep making love show up in what you do and your part in making the world a better place will be complete. That’s my take, anyway.
