I know I don't know you that well, sca, but I do remember you saying that you've coached basketball. Coaches have the opportunity to impact their community directly and regularly at the local level. What these boys learn from you will carry them through their lifetimes, much like what they learn from their parents and family members. That's incredibly powerful.
I've thought about my own life and have wondered what I can do "more." I just have to realize that I can only do what I do when I can do it - whether it's comforting a co-worker, helping friends or family, donating my time at a soup kitchen, planting trees, cleaning up parks, etc. I've done it all - not regularly, but every little thing we do, every moment we spend in our lives is a chance to make a positive impact - something I try to not take for granted (even though I do.)
