I'm Not A Non-profit Person. I Think

Many Of Us Spend Our Entire Lives In The Same Bubble - We Surround Ourselves With People Who Share Our Opinions, Speak The Way We Speak, And Look The Way We Look. We Fear Leaving Those Familiar Surroundings, Which Is Natural, But Through Exploration Of The Unfamiliar We Stop Focusing On The Labels That Define What We Are And Discover Who We Are.

The Most Abundant Resources That We Possess Amongst The 1.5 Million Nonprofits In The United States Are Passion And Knowledge, Yet Our Most Scarce Resource Is Collaboration.

It's The Presence Of Others Who Are Smarter, Kinder, Wiser, And Different From You That Enables You To Evolve. Those Are The People To Surround Yourself With At All Times.

In Those Moments When Priorities Clash Always Stay Guided By Your Values, Not Your Perceived Necessities.

It Always Surprises Me When Donors Who Operate Successful Businesses Assume That Just Building A School Structure Means That A Community Now Has Access To Education. When Creating A Business, Does Renting An Office Space Now Mean That You're Producing Goods, Training Staff And Generating Revenues?
