Dr. Angela Duckworth

Yeah, that works.

Yes, as two moms, we know.

Yes, I've been told that, that everything I'm saying is extremely unhelpful.

When we say that, we mean that you feel like you are part of and in service to something that is larger than yourself.

I think all of us want to be helpful.

I think we would rather help than be helped, honestly.

We have lost our connection and our responsibility to others.

And I think that's what's happening today.

I think we want

to, but it's not obvious to us.

And so that to me is, you know, something not only to remind ourselves of, but to, you know, try to get some traction on because I don't think people need preaching.

I think they just need to find little things that they can do to get started.

My husband said the other day, go get me a bag, one of those little shopping bags, because he had five extra minutes.

And he just picked up the trash on our block.

I mean, that was just, is it great for the block?

Sure.

But it was even better for Jason Duckworth, right?

So just these little, little things of, I'm a small part.

This is a big part.

What can I do to be helpful?
