Catalysts

A catalyst is someone or something that helps an outcome to occur.  Some people play this role better than others. I know in my life that I promote change because I tend to speak up about things I see that I find unfair or things I feel need to be improved. People are catalysts in a variety of ways. They help people deal with situations in their lives, relationships, and jobs. They may drift in, do their part, and drift out again. Others may stay in the relationship having done their job anomalously. In either case the importance of that person is enormous. I have found that losing a job that has been the catalyst for me to pursue a better position.
