What you DON'T DO matters
Recently I met two women who are so bold!
Both shared some personal histories with great challenges, which I will not disclose here.
Both also seem to be absolutely determined to persist with their current uplifting projects.
Now, if you look at their number of followers, their number of likes and so on, you might notice they do not have many.
And they may never have “huge success” according to the typical way people tend to define success.
Who knows…
But regardless of how their current endeavors unfold, I’d like to share what I see other than their cool projects.
What I also see, is what they are NOT DOING!
They are NOT walking around life as victims despite a history of incredible hardship.
They are NOT putting others down.
They are NOT trying to control others.
They are NOT demeaning.
They are NOT complaining.
They are NOT blaming and shaming others.
They are NOT lashing out at people.
and so on.
And, I imagine, the fact they are living this way is a reflection of what they are NOT DOING TO THEMSELVES!
This is why compassion and kindness to others always begins, in my view, with how we treat ourselves.
And this way of living is what gives ENERGY and helps us to discover our strength and personal freedom!
I have no doubt their way will be contagious on whomever they encounter!
Wishing those two bold women, and everyone, a peaceful day.

Agreed <3 Very important...Just because a lot of people don't notice this side of things that you talk about doesn't mean they're not important.
