This seems to be a bit of a theme today. A [Insert Profession Here] wrote: "[Insert Profession Here], what are we giving back to the world really? I understand working remotely but what good are we bringing to the table here?" (Condensed from Original Post) I suggest that your real question is: "[Insert Profession Here], what am I giving back to the world really?" My answer is "I have no idea what you are giving back to the world." I am of the opinion that we rarely know the impact we have as we walk the earth, regardless of whether we are 'nomads' or 'cubicle dwellers'. I spoke to a Kenyan mom of three daughters. She wants to be a successful singer. I talk with her about a project (that I ended up abandoning), to bring food and clothes, mattresses and books to orphans at a school. I forgot all about it. Then a couple weeks ago, I am told she has formed a group. They are looking at their stuff that they do not need and that would help the children. They are visiting the schools and recording the stories of the children and building a foundation to make a real difference in these youngsters' lives. They are raising awareness and making a difference. Who knows where they will be in 5 years? What even one of these wonderful children will bring to the world because they were loved and cherished, when no one cared. Because they had food in their tummy an da good night's sleep, will they bring about a change in the world? I hope so. I have many stories like that one. If you do not (which I feel is the case), make a change. Reach out to the local community. They will have lots for you to do. If I mis read your post and you think you are doing a lot and your fellow [Insert Profession Here] are not... Then be the candle in the dark that lights the way. It burns brightly but does not resent the trees that do not join it in flames to light the night. It knows the Redwoods have a different purpose... Much Love.
