Calling for peace without a demand for justice is another way of saying, "Shhh. Don't rock the boat. Don't be divisive. It works for me. Isn't peace great?!"
Herein lies the difference between peacekeeping versus peacemaking.
Today is a good day to:-
Love someone.
Forgive someone.
Encourage someone.
Help someone.
Celebrate someone.
Acknowledge someone.
Affirm someone.
Support someone.
Listen to someone.
Rejoice with someone.
Weep with someone.
Apologize to someone.
Pray for someone.
@BMA_FORENSICS@MarkCCrowley While I enjoy hugging people that I know and feel comfortable around, it’s still important to respect people’s boundaries. Even if you disagree. We don’t need to disparage people who don’t want hugs.
"The pursuit of wisdom is basically the antidote to a culture that thrives on soundbites. We need words that do more than incite and excite. We need words that sustain and invite us deeper.”
- The Rev. Marcus Halley
I encourage you:
Pay attention and be informed.
Dissect issues, not people.
Commit to not becoming hateful.
Think about standing FOR love and justice, instead of against hate and injustice.
Because there’s a danger of becoming what we focus on most.
@_brockington I’m thrilled to know you’re well in your way with your 7 Steps MissB! It was a pleasure facilitating the training for DHEC, along with your personal growth
There are many ways to be successful in coaching but I wish more young coaches would be exposed to this kind of approach as opposed to what they see in Hard Knocks and other “reality shows”.
