Connecting Dots

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     The truth is that I was taking the time to think about what it means to help just one other person. Sometimes when we see 1 person on stage, with an audience of thousands, we think and wonder what is my contribution worth, if 1 person can inspire  thousands / millions? But this is where the fault lies, the comparison. Everyone has a contribution to make that is valuable. If we think about one person: male, female, or any gender. The person could be a son or daughter with a mother or father, or a father with a family. When the one person is assisted, the efforts are felt upon family members, or the people that one is close with. As we work towards social progress, innovation, or building more equity, we must also include all genders in the conversations, now more than ever.

    We have heard about the me too movements, or the recent events, unfolding and conclusions of the Larry Nasser case. These movements / events  should not silence voices or growth and development. As I have written earlier, movements / events such as these should be careful not to be used as a vehicle for purposely shutting down the positive contributions of the male gender, to justify the feminist cause, or women's empowerment. True empowerment works when everyone is included. If cycles of violence are to end, then is should include the education, growth, and development of all genders. 

     What about if we think of new ideologies such as: Educate 1 person, you educate a village. Or assist 1 person, you assist a community? Everything begins with 1. One person, to another person, or an entire society. Everything begins with one, even the person who is in a position to inspire millions, was once one person to another person. No one should be discouraged or intimidated by their capacity to contribute. We are each designed with our unique abilities, weather another chooses to understand this or not that is their choice.
