Think about it—every dream, every goal, is within your reach, but only if you take that first bold step. Don’t let fear or doubt hold you back. The only way to grow, to achieve, and to truly live is by chasing what sets your soul on fire. You owe it to yourself to go after what you want—because if you don’t, no one else will do it for you. 😎

Feeling drained? Here's a counterintuitive secret to recharging: "The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired." - Gordon B. Hinckley When things around us seem to be moving too fast, burnout becomes more common. What if the solution isn't to retreat, but to reach out? Hinckley's wisdom reminds us that service isn't just about giving but growing. We often find unexpected strength and renewed purpose when we step outside our challenges to lift and encourage others. This weekend, I challenge you (and myself) to: - Identify someone in your network who might be struggling - Offer a helping hand, no matter how small - Notice how it impacts your energy and perspective Remember: "He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served." When have you experienced this "service paradox"? #PersonalGrowth #Volunteering #ProfessionalDevelopment #Inspiration #LeadershipLessons #CommunityService #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealth #Networking #PayItForward

🚀 Calling all new and aspiring public servants! 🌍 If you're passionate about making a difference but unsure where to start, seasoned professionals have shared these 6 tips to help guide your journey. 1. Admit What You Don’t Know “Don’t be afraid to say you don't know and come back with an answer." 2. Your Goal Should be to Learn "I think sometimes we should pause and take a step back when we're in a new space. I think we'll have an opportunity to learn something if we are open to learning and listening, instead of coming in to try and fix something." 3. Don’t Speak for the Community “That means listening and having people join us at the table not just once or twice, but repeatedly. They're the community we're serving, and they must be represented and have a real voice." 4. Build a Powerful Team "You do not have to be an expert on everything because community engagement should be ‘a collective’ work. Find your niche and others who have different skill sets than you, so when you all come together, you will be a powerful team." 5. Partner with Elected Officials "Don't be afraid to seek out those individuals. They want to hear from and get to know what people want and what they need. Building that network is so important." 6. Look Toward the Future "In public service, you don't always see what you've achieved when you're actually doing it, but you're planting the seed, and if you're lucky, you'll see it later."
