Statement for July 23

Two men in a burning house must not stop to argue.

-Ashanti proverb



It is not your duty or responsibility to change the minds of other people. The nature of their thinking is advanced or limited by their experience. In your presence, they have an opportunity to learn about you and, perhaps, to grow. Allow them to experience as a well-grounded, compassionate being who is capable of listening, learning, sharing and growing. That is your responsibility to yourself, your life and the other person. You can be an example of the peaceful, vibrant, valuable contributor your ancestors were. Like them, you can contribute to the enlightenment of the world when you spend less time worrying about what others think and more time creating positive changes.


Every experience is an opportunity to grow
