Goodness as your Guide

It’s so easy to feel defeated. Deflated. To have a steroid-injected case of the blaahhhs.

And it’s especially easy to feel this way right now. With extreme stresses and strain within all levels of life—from economics to health to social (in)justice—the core of who we are as a country feels shaken. With the insurgence of negativity swirling about right now, how do we remain strong and keep pushing forward? 

We just must. It’s that simple.

Sure, we need to feel (and face) the pains. We must address what’s not right. And we must stand strong for what is important. But in the process? We can’t lose ourselves. Goodness must remain as our compass. And we must endure along the path toward our individual goals. 

Each day with which we’re gifted, we need to arise. One foot after the other. And we must proceed. If we don’t, we lose and negativity wins.

Let’s keep control of our own destinies. There’s no giving up. There’s no allowing defeat. We must persevere. And no one will do it for us. 

In June, let’s proceed as if we were Teflon®-coated. Let life’s ugliness roll off the back as we continue to press forward, with eyes lasered on our goals. 

Be aware, be strong + be compassionate. Show love and kindness to your neighbors. No matter the side of the political aisle you may lean toward, we are all an important part of this great embodiment called humanity. So, let’s treat one another with kindness. With compassion. With grace and patience. 

And above all, keep pressing forward toward your goals in June—using goodness as your guide. Let’s walk together in determination fueled with innate goodness. Just think of the momentum of positivity we can create. 

Happy June to all… thanks for being with us!
