Is there any problem that you would give anything to solve?
Fortunately, we aren't all so obsessed (and I use that in a positive way) with a single problem that it is all that we can think about, all that we can work on. But what if there were such a problem in your life? How would you react? What would you do?
We have before us no end of problems begging for noble solutions. World hunger. War. Pollution. Energy. Boundaries. Education. Problems bigger than any single person.
Have you embraced one major problem with the intent of making a positive difference?
What problem would you give your life to solve?
Take you time, you don't need to answer that this minute. But you probably do need to answer it.
