So believe it or not this post is not about vacations. I will say that I just returned from a wonderful trip to Disney a week or so ago and vacations can be as inspiring as they are relaxing but that's for another post. This post is more of a challenge to myself and hopefully others.I want to dedicate 10% of my work week to getting out of the office and helping other businesses or individuals in need in a way that isn't about generating a profit for me. That's it and that's all. Step away from the desk and the phone and help feed somebody who can't afford to feed themselves. Spend time with a missionary and just listen to what they are doing in their area of work.
The reality is that it doesn't take much for apathy to set in and soon we can't see past the monitor in front of us. I think of the scene in Phenomenon where John Travolta finally throws the rake down and shoves his hands into the soil in his garden. Instantly he feels relieved to be so in touch in such a simple way. Where is the garden you need to spend some time in? How can you get your hands dirty? Feel free to let us know and hopefully we'll see you out there doing phenomenal things!
