Think Of Something That You Can Do

If you can think of something that you can do in your life, at your company, in your department, that can make a difference, then you feel like you have agency. You feel like you can do something about the problem? 

Now the trick is not to say, “Oh, I did this little thing, now all is good.”

And you recognize now it all is not good. All is still likely to maybe end in disaster. 

But if you just think that no matter what I do, there’s going to be a huge, giant disaster. And by the time today’s babies are 70, there won’t be a world…  No! 

If we keep thinking that way, we’ll be paralyzed.
