Wherever You Are...Be There

"Wherever you are...be there." - Wayne Elsey in Almost Isn't Good Enough.


Wayne is the founder and CEO of Soles4Souls, a non-profit whose mission is to provide shoes for people who need them.

The quote above hit me like a ton of bricks.  When I feel overwhelmed by a task, problem or challenge, my natural instinct is to withdraw when really I need to engage.  Wherever I am, I need to be in that moment - engage.  He says "Being there is about creating a new reality, better than the current situation."


"We must be the change we want to see in the world." - Gandhi
