“Before you finish getting out of bed, brushing your teeth with clean tap water, putting on clothes, making breakfast, turning off the light, walking out the door, you are benefiting from the work of hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals from all around the world. They all deserve your spirit of generosity. So, walk with humility and reverence for the human endeavor and know it’s your job to help take that endeavor forward. The work of renewing a world is based on extending dignity to every human being on the planet which begins in small places, close to home. Our future as a human race depends on all of us subscribing to a revolution of morals in which we each commit ourselves to something beyond ourselves, have an enduring curiosity, a sense of possibility, effortless kindness, and a willingness to just start.”
