The Thought
Often I have heard people say about situations, “not my circus, not my monkeys.” This is an abdication of responsibility. This is an abdication of leadership. This is a missed opportunity. You are freed to lead. Everyone is making space and backing away from something that usually needs attention, often people who need attention. Practice saying “my circus. my monkeys” and LEAD.
Announcements were made and prayers were beckoned and prayed. We closed with the pledge and headed to QSource.
Good work, men.
