Sunday Story…Behold the Turtle
He only gets ahead when he sticks his neck out!
This is a simple idea. If I don’t get my head out of my shell, I can’t move at all. We can try to ignore the world around us by ducking down and covering up but that doesn’t change what is happening in the world. Ignoring the problem won’t make it go away. Wishing something doesn’t make it so.
You need to look around, assess the issue and do something…sometimes doing anything. Doing nothing gets you exactly that…nothing. At least when you try, you learn something. Keeping your head tucked in only allows you the illusion that nothing is happening. Things are happening all the time. Time is passing, things are growing and dying, ideas are being promulgated, new stuff arises and old stuff falls by the wayside. In the meantime you are stuck in your shell.
Get out! Stick your neck out! Do something. Stand for something. Be a part of the greater community and be the change you want to see in the world. The world will turn one way or the other; you may as well be part of the process of creating the world you are living in!
