Each of us has our own unique gifts and an ability to see the world from our own point of view. These gifts and talents, along with an ability to think for our selves, are needed to support the whole, our family, our community, our nation, and our world.
*
Each of us has the potential to offer our thoughts and gifts to influence the well being of the whole.
*
The gifts that each of us has to offer is our ability to see the way things are from our unique perspective. Our perspective, added to that of others, contributes to seeing the whole picture.
*
In order to think for ourselves and share our gifts we need to let go our fears of the unknown and what people will think. We need to believe in something greater than ourselves so that we feel free to express what we are thinking.
*
Thinking for ourselves, thinking differently from others, means that we will make mistakes as we take risks to search for a greater understanding of what is possible.
*
Thinking differently means questioning everything and not being afraid to express those questions.
*
Thinking differently means letting go of judgment and being open to new possibilities, new perspectives, and greater diversity.
*
We need to learn how to value our own gifts and each other’s gifts so that we can learn to work together in a complementary and cooperative way for the benefit of our whole living system.
Let me know what you think.
Until next week, remember the only boxes that exist are the ones you create yourself.
