We Learn From Our Children

 I sent my daughter this:

"SURROUND YOURSELF

WITH PEOPLE WHO:

EMPOWER YOU

BELIEVE IN YOU

SUPPORT YOU

UPLIFT YOU

MOTIVATE YOU

APPRECIATE YOU"

She sent me this:

Well yes, but also look around at those disenfranchised communities that don’t have the resources to motivate or empower anyone as they struggle to make ends meet. Part of the reason so many elite liberals were blindsided by the election results is because they are themselves narcissistic isolationists, so we only have a leg up on Trump if we look carefully at his supporters and understand that the majority of them are just misguided and under-served by our current political system.

If we only cling to like-minded people we won’t ever have a chance at real dialogue and change so part of the hard work ahead is to be willing to get out of our comfort zones and resist the urge to block out the voices we don’t want to hear. ❤️‍🩹
