Hi Galen, over here again making an appearance with my narrative.
I think that :
1- Sense of Humor
2- Resilience
3 - Surround yourself with people who add and not subtract.
4- Focus on the simple thing to do every day.
It is enough to situate ourselves in the 21st century and act with the logic and expectations of this century, where the principle-hope is vital to assume it, not only the necessary voluntarism optimism, but the deep faith in human time as progress towards a country and a better world than the one we have.
As social beings we are part of a community at various scales: family, clan, tribe, village, city, region, nation, humanity.
Language and culture identify us, within the limits of a community, in a space and a time.
But just as we recognize ourselves in a community, we always do so from an individuality, a personalization that distinguishes us in physical and psychological terms, temperament, character, personality and all this in circumstances that condition us as particular historical beings.
Beings located in openness and expectation, and there we have to live our existential challenges and challenges, such as making decisions, when our freedom is put to the test and defines our destiny.
And this is the real difference between human beings, the way leadership skills are developed, effective communication for problem-solving, these three skills give us the ability to adapt to any situation.
Why?
Because educating in freedom, justice, equal opportunities, solidarity, responsibility within the framework of coexistence, respect are the basic pillars for peace to prevail, which is getting further and further away in the current apocalyptic escalation.
Every morning, friend Galen, I close my eyes for a while to remember that I have spirit and that I am alive (really alive). And why not? ... To go towards the light of things and let nature (including the human being) teach me... May everything add up for the peace of the world.
Janitze.
