Kinda wish so many freedom seeds weren’t flying out of anger pipes into people’s thinky coconuts and organ barrels and making their loved ones leak so much boo-hoo water out of their peep orbs.
In job interviews and college admissions, we focus too much on what candidates have accomplished, and too little on what obstacles they've overcome.
The true measure of people's potential is not the height of the peak they've reached, but how far they've climbed to get there.
There are no possessions or credentials in life that can substitute for a sense of self-worth.
Self-respect comes from being proud of how we live, not what we acquire.
It grows through pursuing purpose, not seeking status. It's about mattering to others, not outshining them.
Signs of an open mind:
Listening to opinions that make you think hard, not just views that make you feel good
Choosing friends based on the decency of their behavior, not the similarity of their beliefs
Seeing disagreement as a chance to learn, not a threat to your ego
If you define success solely in terms of gaining wealth, achievement, or influence, what you often lose is freedom.
One of the greatest accomplishments in life is earning the freedom to choose how you spend your time.
No currency is more valuable—or more scarce—than autonomy.
We are living history and it’s so amazing to see the majority of our country unite over such beautiful things, finally. Let’s take care of each other. Let’s do what’s right, finally and make a better change to our world. Love, pray, unite, and recognize black lives matter.
The heart of this unrest is that our society is too focused on “me” and not “us”. How can we get back to that? Have people with those core values running for office. We need someone to step up! #bealight
