Community Should Make You Better

Community Should Make You Better

Gyms, book clubs, and churches all promise the same ROC (return on community): improvement.

“Join us and we’ll make you healthier/smarter/nicer.”

Most of the time it works out that way and you’re better for it. #communitywins

But sometimes the promise of community loses its shine and you become a worse version of yourself. Infighting, gossip, and enmity fester.

The point at which you stop improving is the point at which your community has become a clique, clan, or cult.

It’s time to leave.

Community accepts you as you are, but refuses to let you stay that way. It knows your best days are ahead of you and will help you march into that tomorrow with confidence, resilience, and pride.
