Many of us have been conditioned to believe that caring for others and supporting our communities will lead to loss—loss of resources, identity, or even our way of life.

Unfortunately this mindset can create a false narrative that pits us against one another and gets in the way of us living in our truth. 

How?...When we hear that helping others could somehow threaten our financial stability or lead to drastic societal changes, it isn't uncommon to fall into a cycle of fear which morphs into resistance to whatever we are trying to create.

But the truth is compassion and support are signs of abundance and they are essential to building a healthy society where we can all thrive together. 

Historically, our nation has prided itself on being a place of refuge and hope, an abundant resource to welcome those seeking a better life. Now, there is fear and lack everywhere. We are fighting out of fear and no longer creating from a sense of truth and empowerment. 

The first step to getting back on track in my opinion is to embrace our shared humanity. This allows us to break down the barriers that fear has constructed. By letting go of these fears, we can reconnect with our core truths—truths that remind us of our capacity for empathy and kindness and our infinite power as creators. 

Then, we must stop judging. From the autonomy of a person to choose what they wish to do with their own body to the freedom to create a life they love, each person should be empoewred to navigate their own truth without external control or influence.  

Without our fears, we can begin to dismantle the resistance that keeps us from living fully which not only liberates us individually but also strengthens our communities.

True safety comes from connection, understanding, and finding the courage to support one another. By facing our fears and choosing compassion, we open the door to a more authentic and fulfilling existence—one where we can all thrive together.
