Minding the Social GAP.

There's no secret the world is broken into two on so many levels.

The GAP between left and right is getting wider and wider by the minute.

One side is doing their best to get life back to some form of normalcy. The other is doing their best to preserve what used to be normal.

One side is doing its best to support people of color by caring about their plight and acknowledging their struggle. The other is doing their best to support people of color by shifting the limiting belief narrative to you have the power to create your reality.

One side is doing its best to create change in how the police use brutal force on people of color. The other side is doing its best to create awareness of immortalizing felons while black children die without any outrage or attention.

We are truly divided.

Both camps believing their way is the "right" way, and the GAP is widening daily.

How are we supposed to navigate life with such polarizing views?

1. We all can't and will NEVER all care about the same things. What is important to one may not be important to another. 
2. Create space for someone else's opinion. To think we know the "truth" is the same as closing up. It doesn't mean you have to agree. It means you practice keeping an open mind and heart to hear.
3. STAY CURIOUS. This goes with point #2. Be more willing to ask questions than to give your perspective.
4. Be KIND and RESPECTFUL. We have no control over other's perspectives or reactions, BUT we do have control over our own. This means always keeping OUR side of the street clean.
5. Get clear on what's right for you, and let that be enough. No need to force others to understand, agree, or participate in your ideals. This point goes back to #1. We're not all going to care about the same things. Let's stop trying.

We have the capacity to create gentle shifts around the world. And it starts with ONE... You.

Okay, maybe TWO... You and Me.

Here's to storming the castle with kindness, open hearts, and compassion.

No matter which "side" they're on.

With lots of LOVE,
Teresa
