Here’s my post-election day rant. People do things every day and feel like they’ve accomplished something. Fact is, too many people just put in their time and little else: they think nobody notices but, in reality, it shows. You see it at checkout counters where nobody smiles or makes eye contact, in stores where employees are talking to each other rather than looking for customers who are looking for service, and – here it is – in voter turnout statistics where, in some places, up to half the people don’t vote. It’s about not being engaged, or, maybe more accurately, not caring. Listen up: it’s not the amount of time and effort you spend at something, it’s about what you put into whatever you’re doing. It seems the world is full of complainers: if you don’t like something, get involved and do something about it; change what you’re doing or change your attitude about it. The good news: it’s a new day and you get another chance to get it in gear and be engaged. It’s not about others, it’s about you: youare responsible for what you do today.
