Thank you for reading, dianawudavid — and for the comment too. I see our “stages” in life as the movements in which we choose to take part. Examples of stages can be the organization for which we work, friendship groups, social and community groups, or athletic teams. It’s important to occasionally step aside, evaluate and ask ourselves, “If in advance with my situation, am I going to be ok with alignment of values, accountability for results, and long term impact of out work?”

Too often, we get caught up, or even stuck, in a track because we forget about the long game and asking ourselves more challenging questions not just about what we are doing, but why we are doing what we do.

On another note, I saw Hong Kong in your profile. We received a gift and post card from a friend there last week and now I’m interested in going :-)
