DAY TWO
Stop Managing Our Time, and Start Fulfilling Our Promise

Elevating ourselves high above our circumstances as Abraham has done; or courageously creating opportunity for others, as Chris has done; or changing the policies or products of our employer as Mike did, is not as impossible or farfetched as it seems. In fact, it is right within our grasps. And it is how we save the world.

What’s hard is seeing the opportunity. What’s hard is giving ourselves permission to start. To act. It’s hard to allow our most noble intentions to take wing. It’s hard because our current society is preoccupied with superficial goals and because our fearful emotions are not wired to take bold steps no matter how obvious and practical they might be. The result is that many of us are living in ways that are neither sustainable nor abundant.

But every one of us can make our difference as Chris did. All we have to do is keep our Promise to act on our noble intentions. When we do, the ripple effects spread outward, multiplying themselves in incalculable ways.

Unfortunately, many of us never make our greatest impact. We allow too many crippling fears and limiting assumptions to get in our way. But when we have the courage to act despite those fears and assumptions, boldly fulfilling our Promise, great things start to happen.
