I want to do to this! "If you are willing and obedient..you shall eat the good of the land." Isaiah 1:19 [Dwaine Lee, Founder, Global Action](https://globalaction.ngo/en/blog/author/dwaine-lee-founder-global-action) Jul 26, 2022 --- Energy is high when our will is engaged. Without enthusiasm, strength for the task will not be what it could be or what it should be. When kids 'have to do' what they don't want to do...shoulders sag, they put their heads down. When they're doing what they want to do...it is a different world. All of a sudden it is streaked lightning! Creativity, positivity, and fun follow the willing heart. Burnout follows those who live a life they don't want to live To be willing is a decision we make. I want to do to this!
