You have pushed hard for the change you seek. All the work that you did feels like a tiny drop in the ocean. You thought. But they are more like a seed in the earth.
On the first day of the new year, here are things to remember:
The faces you have lit up, and the hopeful picture people helped you paint.
The revelation about the scope of the work your idea can reach, but more importantly, the people who will genuinely benefit from it.
The challenges and hard decisions you chose to stick to instead of doing what's easy, for the winning, and how others might think of you.
You know whom you serve.
You are clear on your purpose.
You know the truth will eventually emerge, but the challenges will keep resurfacing.
Because the change you seek is never about you, you do what you need to lead and show up.
Here is to you in the new year.
You matter.
