When you can embrace the many ways things and people can exist and express themselves, you can embrace the many ways you can exist and express yourself.

Previous post: There is a delicate balance between how you do what you do and why you do what you do. Be aware of what – or more accurately, WHO – you stand to lose when you forget WHY you do what you do and only focus on 'the doing'.

Next post: In times like this, the most immediate thing to do is something nice for someone else. Connect with other people. Get a physical, visceral feel – a real human sense – of "you are not separate". You cannot do that alone, in your head. You need to DO something – put energy behind this vector!

When you can embrace the many ways things and people can exist and express themselves, you can embrace the many ways you can exist and express yourself.
