Responsibility is the ability to respond. It is something we must advocate (rather than abdicate), accept, and embrace (rather than reject and/or run away from). The most important relationship we have, and the one that affects all others, is the one we have with ourselves. Will yours be based in fear, scarcity, and insecurity or abundance, unconditional love, and ongoing (mutual) support?
Our “legacy” may be far more impressive than we realize. Like footprints and fingerprints, we leave behind soul prints everywhere we go.
That which is different is strange, queer, odd. But what is unique is also special, sacred, holy, and highly valuable – when seen and/or used that way.
Each of us is unique, special, and needed. Each of us has something that NO other can contribute. If/when we do not share or allow others to, we all “lose” something irreplaceable. In some ways, we are like pieces in the giant jigsaw puzzle of life. We are often dependent on other pieces to be in place in order for us to find ours. And others may need us to put our piece in place in order to find where they belong.
Consider the source less important than the truth, importance, and/or relevance of what is shared. Far too often people pay (more) attention to the messenger than the message.
