Compassion and Family

 

Compassion. We all need it.

Compassion is a kind of heart powered magic that we each have inside. It keeps us strong.

To have a healthy world and healthy family,  notice hunger - your own and that of others. Everywhere there is hunger for compassion, humor and faith. We are a global family.

People in our family are hungry for food, basic education and personal freedom.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. ~George Washington Carver 

Compassion makes us champions of the world. As I write this, I'm nibbling on delicious chocolate from Alter Eco. This company is founded on the concept of compassion through global family that includes the family of rainforests and families of farmers they work with. This is all of us.

Global warming reminds of when we get a fever. If we ignore it, and it just gets worse, it means we're sick. It's possible that our planet is not just warming, it's potentially dying. We are its family. To survive, we have to be compassionate. There are many ways to work together to heal the planet. Choose one and participate. You will feel the connection in your heart. You might get a dose of amazement.

Compassion teaches us how to thrive with change. Be a champion of our world.

One World

We are not one people, but we are one world.

We are entering an amazing Humanitarian Age of unity for the greater good. Our health is linked 100% to the health of the earth. Just like birds share the sky and fish share the seas, we share the planet. Cultures have different 'rules' and countries have unique politics. Yet today, around the world, global electronic unity is indisputable. This takes us to expanded levels of personal and public potential to work together for the greater good. Every person, every culture and every country needs clean air and clean water to stay healthy and thrive.

People are unique, yet we have the same need for to be true to ourselves. Inner peace is personal. While it's natural to unite to support the health of our planet, it's important to remember we don't give up any part of 'who we are' to do this. It's our differences that make us strong. Unique perspectives will bring new solutions to shared responsibilities. 

Using sensual thinking is the worldwide way to be responsible for our planet's health. Intuitive values guide us to create safe, mutual boundaries that keep us calm, so it's easy to work together to maintain our quality of life and the health our planet. Intuitive attitudes of courage, dignity, tenacity, prudence and gratitude transcend every culture providing a solid foundation for transparent communication and collaboration. Our priorities and privacy stay clear.

Being at peace in our world, despite our many differences, can happen as we remember our shared vital need for clean air and clean water. Without these, we all die. Moving forward depends on maintaining boundaries of global intuitive values that allow connection and our differences to thrive, without any hidden agendas. 

The Earth is bigger than we are, more powerful and more enduring. Every one of us breathes the same air and drinks the same water.  We are dependent upon the health of our Earth to survive. Let's keep priorities clear.

It's time to unite to champion ourselves, by joining to be at peace, by respecting our amazing planet. 

Peas and people can only thrive with clean air and clean water.
