Moment of obligation

You know exactly what that moment feels like if you’ve had it before. The moment everything changes. The moment you can’t keep your head down any more. That point, when you have to do something about it.

For some people it’s to finally take action in this year’s presidential campaign. For others, it’s about the importance of working on an issue you care about–like moving our education system forward.  It could be helping someone that needs your support more than ever.  And for many, it’s launching that business that has not only been your mind but also your heart for years.

The problem is that the moment won’t last forever. The urges you get might only come once or twice. The resources and time might never be at your fingertips ever again. So you have to grab it. Take it. Compel others to come with you. And take action, regardless of the obstacles in your way. Because people in your community are counting on you. That’s why you feel obligated.

Just about the hardest thing you can do but bravest thing you can is put your head up and take action in the moment.

So what was the last moment of obligation you had? And what did you do about it?
