In our work to make things better, it’s easy to overlook two things:
- Improvements, connection and possibility rarely come down in a lightning bolt from Mt. Olympus. Instead, they’re the product of the grass roots, of small groups of people finding opportunities and keeping promises.
- Better happens incrementally. The first steps aren’t dramatic, and in fact, might even be less effective than what came before. But small steps repeated again and again transform our culture when no one is looking.
The best way to make things better is to begin. Create the conditions for others to join you. Persist.
