Do not wait for permission to do good
The good you can do does not need anyone to order it.
It is comfortable to wait for someone else to take the step: the parish, the boss, whoever is in charge. Meanwhile, many good things remain undone. As a Christian in the midst of the world, you have your own initiative: you do not need directives to improve what is around you.
That neighborhood, that work team, that family, that group of friends... there are goods that depend on someone stepping up. And that someone can be you, with freedom and without waiting for applause or instructions.
It is not about shouldering everything or playing the savior. It is about ceasing to look upward waiting for others to fix what you could begin today.
Key idea
Improving what is close to you depends on your initiative, not on being commanded.
Your challenge for this idea
Spot something good you have long been waiting for someone else to do. Take the first step yourself today, even if it is small.
