Or, you can be the one they rely on, the one who takes the baton and runs with it at the best of their ability before passing it on to the next motivated hand that reaches out. You could be the one that’s trusted to do the job and do it well. You could be the one who gets things started, nudges them along, and keeps on keeping on until they’re done.
