For me it’s hard to get in the 4th of July spirit and be rah-rah America right now, because I see it as a country that is so full of division and painful conflict.
Different belief systems.
Conversations that quickly become attacks.
Not even a shared understanding of basic facts.
How are we going to come to a common ground?
Will there ever be a way to find peace and compromise?
How are people going to feel taken care of?
I don’t know
But I do have hope that something will change in my lifetime. And I have hope
I also have hope in the power of me as an individual.
That I MATTER.
I believe in the power of paying attention to my own needs,
My own life,
filling myself up rather than falling into my pattern of putting myself last
It’s something that is positive and it’s something that I can do.
No matter what, you can use your individual power to create a better world
It can look like:
writing your book,
offering things in your business,
or even choosing to slow down and enjoy a good cup of tea.
It seems small but actually it is pretty huge
Hurt people hurt people so don’t let yourself become one of them.
Take care of yourself.
I’m taking my own advice and taking a full week off starting now. Enjoy your vacation if you have one!
