It’s possible to work passionately without making a difference. And it’s possible to pour physical and emotional labor into unproductive work.

Like pedaling a bicycle when the chain has fallen off, or pressing a vehicle’s accelerator with the gear stick in neutral… we can work to the point of exhaustion without making change happen.

But with the right engagement, that cog you work so hard to spin… by connecting it to the right systems, the right people, the right machinery… your efforts can become the source of great movement.

It just takes a single point of proper engagement.
