As my wife, Cristina, knows, things can certainly become a little grandiose whenever my creative juice begin to flow.
I'd like to share a few, random thought that I've been creating within my mind regarding my future - particularly, within In-Powered by OSA.
First, I've definitely been thinking a great deal about the overall sustainability and mission of any nonprofit organization. I can't quiet remember where I adopted this belief, but my understanding that a truly successful nonprofit will, eventually, put itself out of business.
I'm not fully convinced that this sentiment applies to In-Powered by OSA. However, a mental door has opened that has made me understand a new micro-purpose as far as our school-based programming. Specifically, our mission should be to ignite programs, offer training and program mentorship to in-house teachers who are already employees of a given district. Then, after the teacher has received certification, and has fully taken over a program, it is our responsibility to step back and support programs from the periphery. So, in essence, we are actually putting ourselves out of business. Like yogi pioneers, we should then endeavor to expand out reach and share yoga with more people.
My intuition tells me that that is a critical point of our mission: Create (new and sustainable) space to expand.
