Community
My perfect world
A community where people use their gifts to help each other succeed. Human, imperfect, and safe enough to speak honestly.
My perfect world is far from perfect. It is human. Humans will never be perfect.
But it is a safe world. A safe place to communicate.
Local leaders and entrepreneurs use their talents to make their community a better place. Money is important, but there comes a point where we have enough. I believe those of us with the privilege or gift of making money should use it to contribute.
We need each other
As humans, we are at our best when we are part of a community. One that draws on everyone's strengths. One that understands we need everyone to succeed.
We are not in competition with each other. Our competition is with our own minds. There is plenty for everyone, yet we so often act from scarcity.
I want to join forces with others who want something different. People who put their gifts to work for the people around them.
It starts with me
I can choose how I show up. I can pay attention to my words, my actions, and the impact they have.
I will build my community. I will join forces with others who want the same thing. But it all starts with self. That is what we have control of. Nothing more. Nothing less.
