What does community have to do with your mission?

You may be working for a better tomorrow, but that work doesn't happen in a vacuum. Social impact is not something that we push off to an uncertain future; it is what happens in the here and now when we bring our best to the moment.

Nowhere is that more important than when considering the issue of community, your impact upon it, as well as its effect upon you, your life and service.

I'm not talking about bringing together those you serve in some kumbaya activity that allows them to draw on each other's strengths and add support in areas of weakness.

Neither am I speaking about connecting with other servers who are also adding their contribution, whatever the form it may take.

These are both extremely important to the mission entrepreneur, and I highly recommend you remain open to both possibilities in making a difference.

Today, however, let's look instead at community on a slightly broader scale -- the locale in which you live, and the issues those who live there confront in their daily affairs.
