Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to once again attend the Keyholder Event sponsored by the Women’s Fund of Central Ohio. This year’s featured guest was human rights activist, author and actor Ashley Judd.
At one point, Ashley was speaking about how overwhelmed she felt at times, seeing unspeakable human rights horrors around the world. She went through some personal turmoil, feeling completely helpless to solve these huge problems. Then, she had this personal and spiritual revelation:
The outcome is none of my business. All I can really do is the next right thing.
I love that second statement. It’s so simple, yet so important. We may not be able to solve all (or any) of the big problems we see. What we can do is the next right thing. Imagine the possibilities if we all did.

Tuesday Tidbits are weekly messages I send to my leadership team. They are generally short & sweet, often focused on leadership or teamwork, always positive and, hopefully, motivational. I hope you also find some meaning in them.
