A thirst for Authenticity

It has been some time since I last posted to this blog. Life gets busy and it’s easy to neglect. There is another reason, perhaps more accurate. I have considered many times of writing every week. Yet, tendencies to be a perfectionist or concerns about what to write stop me. These are average person concerns.

My thoughts of late have been on sustainable effort. Interestingly enough I find myself often working with people who have too much on their plate. People who tend to take on a huge amount of responsibility. I look for common themes in the work I do and the people I work with most frequently. They are not only busy and responsible people – they are people who take on significant responsibility because they care.

We live in a time of much uncertainty. Concerns for personal welfare are rampant and not surprising. Yet, in the midst of so much uncertainly, greed and fear of loss, it’s refreshing to be in the presence of people who have a genuine sense of service, responsibility and stewardship.

The world is thirsty for these qualities. It is just for this reason that we thirst for authenticity. It’s as if those who live authentically and courageously provide hope for all of us.
