I believe that we all carry around a “feel-good-check” in our pocket. A check that is made out to our name, but few of us choose to cash.
A check in your wallet does you very little good. It represents opportunity, sure, but not action.
Most of us are carrying around a check, an opportunity to make an impact, to do the work we're capable of.
No, the world isn't fair, and most people don't get all the chances they deserve. There are barriers due to income, to race, to social standing and to education, and they are inexcusable and must fall, don’t get me wrong.
But the check you have remains in your pocket, now more than ever. The opportunity to step up and to fail (and then to fail again, and to fail again) and to continue failing until you succeed is greater now than it has ever been.
