It All Starts With an Idea

Buzz of the Day

Yesterday, I talked about us citizens who've voted these people into office. Our voices together, along with organization can do great things. But it takes so much effort. Effort that we feel can be used doing "other things." Well, those other things become surfing the net, watching television, and sitting on our behinds.

We all have some influence. But we'd have much more if we coordinated and worked together. These words that you're reading ain't ground breaking at all. But sometimes we need to be reminded of those simple things.

There is a new girl at my job. We spoke briefly yesterday. Just small-talk about the radio. I told her that we hear the same songs all day long. She said, "Well, what have you guys done? Have you written a letter or sent an email?" I said, "Actually, we've sent a couple of emails." That seemed to satisfy her because she replied, "Well, good. I hate when people complain about something, but they don't do anything to change it." And that comment seemed to satisfy me!

There are so many "back-seat drivers" and "Monday morning quarterbacks". Criticize from afar, but they don't have the guts to change. Or even make steps toward change.

It all starts with an idea. Then a plan has to be developed. Then action. Rinse, and repeat as often as needed.
