Do we know how big the world really is? The opportunity is there to make something happen...
I had dinner last night and listened to Bobby Sager speak in Downtown Boston.
As an invited guest to speak for an international organization holding annual meetings here, I was able to "tag along" and join the evening soiree.
Mr. Sager is an amazing photographer; I saw a few of his photos. Each picture, he explained , has a story. From what he told us about his efforts, for about a decade now, he and his family have "made a life" (he'd already made a living) by going out and doing good.
Ok, at least that's my version. He's out there making the changes ... no, he's actually living the changes that I ordinarily talk about experiencing.
Mr. Sager does good things internationally and locally, and last night he inspired me with just a few words of wisdom and motivation.
His message: Concrete Baby Steps Matter.
I have a lot on my mind from last night's meeting, but I'll only share this one idea. I hope in reading this post, and clicking on a few of the links I provide you'll find some reason and some thing to do to represent your own concrete baby step that matters.
Bobby said several times: Concrete Baby Steps Matter. During this presentation, I filled up four 3X5 note cards. One of them had this:
IDEA - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ACTION
or
IDEA - - - - - ACTION
The point I made to myself was/is this: If I get an idea, how do I act on that idea with:
less time?
less energy?
less effort?
less money?
less resources?
less...
you get the point.
So, I head back to Ojai tomorrow for the weekend, and I'm going to start looking around for the CBSs I can take!

Can you please remove the post on "Harry Potter" . We in Ojai are not in support of witch craft or any other mythical tales that are anti-Christian or implode that theology.

Oh please Claire, you don't speak for Ojai and neither do I. The post stays. Are your beliefs so fragile that they are threatened by a blog post about a movie?
And sorry, Jason, to interrupt your post like this. I have a moderately interesting story about sting.com I'll share with you sometime.

Wonderful post Jason! Thanks for the links and info. Sounds like you had a once in a lifetime opportunity to interact with someone who has really made a difference. I loved this quote found on the website you posted; "anyone can count the number of seeds in an apple, but no one can count the number of apples in a seed".
