People can say anything. People can claim anything. It doesn’t make it so or true. It also doesn’t mean they can deliver on their promises. Look for people who use their skills to improve life on the planet or who make lives better. Look at the people who clean up the trash in water and on the land. Look at people who do more than talk. Those are the people worthy of your time, energy, and attention. Focus on ways to heal things. Focus on solutions. Stay away from people who tear things down and destroy things without plans to make something better for communities and societies. Look for the people who build things and build people up. There are never one size fits all answers or solutions. You all are unique systems with your unique needs. If someone starts with “everyone needs to do _______ or everyone needs ________,” stay away from them. You need systems that account for the variety of needs. Wake up and take your power back. Say no to what isn’t working for you.
