Stop spending time with the wrong people. Life is too short to hang out with people that suck the life out of you, or that you have to fight to be a part of their lives.
We are all catalysts. Each one of us has the capacity to change what we view as wrong with the world. Once we have changed ourselves we should share what we know with others – either directly or indirectly. Blogging or volunteering in your community are great ways of doing this. But even the quiet fortitude of leading by example can do wonders.
As a parent, I am keenly aware of my personal responsibility to leave my three children (ages 7, 5 and 15 months) a world that is prosperous not perilous. But as we shift our perspectives and sense of being to that of what Thomas Berry calls the broader ‘Community of Life’, we begin to see our responsibility to ALL children throughout the world. The possibility of equipping our future generations with new ways of living, thriving and sustaining all Life is a moral obligation. Teaching our children that happiness lies in what is within and not through material gain is one of the most wonderful gifts we could ever give them.
