I’m often asked how I can work in human services knowing the need is greater than our ability to meet it at any given time and that one problem solved often reveals another.
Be Crazy
My answer is always the same, “Because, I’m crazy.” I’m crazy enough to believe, working together, we can change our community. I’m crazy enough to believe there is more good than bad in the world. I’m crazy enough to believe we are resourceful. I’m crazy enough to believe our community is the most compassionate and best equipped emotionally and intellectually to handle whatever comes our way and make a positive difference.
I found a Steve Jobs quote over the weekend that supports my craziness. “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
That’s my kind of crazy—I want to be surrounded by people who think they can change the world and actively work to make it better.
So let’s BE CRAZY! And change our community, and our world, for GOOD!
