Hi! I’m Brian Gerald Murphy, an activist, author, and entrepreneur. I teach lessons in movement making through free daily dispatches and a premium letter. I’m the co-creator of Legalize Trans* and online strategies manager for GLSEN.
Yesterday, I asked “is trying to make yourself and the world a better place worth it?” Many of you responded on my Facebook.
Casey said, “So far, it’s the only thing in the world that can get me up in the morning and out of bed, so I have to believe it is.” While Hannah confessed, “Sadly, in the end I think both are a bit of a lost cause.”
I feel encouraged to observe that I am not alone in asking that question of myself.
A few years ago Alexey Timbul reminded me that sometimes you can’t see the fruits of your actions; sometimes you just have to trust that you’re planting seeds that will blossom one day in the future.
Have you seen any of your seeds come to fruition? Would you share them with me on Facebook? (Or simply hit reply if you receive this in your inbox)
