"Hard to belong when you are observing from a distance. Hard to belong when you will only join with others when they must follow your directions alone. Belonging is easier when you share meaningful tasks that make a difference in your life and in other people’s lives. Belonging is a function of contributing to worthwhile tasks together. What is it you will share?"
