Data crunching and cloud computing only sound new to us. It’s been around for many years, and large agencies and corporations take advantage of this vast info vault typically for segmented solutions in certain cultures or countries.
It’s no longer necessary for job seekers to recall vast amounts of knowledge to keep a job. What the world needs now is visionaries with a world view to help those outside their neighborhood. Empathy or a growing understanding and love for those not like us is the key.
When my younger daughter was a teenager, she brought a wide range of friends to the house. Many had tattoos, others with short or long hair. Some had reputations, others criminal records. Though I considered myself wise as her parent, I also was on a vision quest to expand and include everyone in my quest for wisdom.
Today I tell friends and neighbors that my youngest child helped me accept everyone in the world as a friend and part of our extended family. I no longer have a precise number, but more than 100 people are invited to our home for holiday meals because we love them. And they always have a friend they can turn to in a pinch.
I lived in Mississippi when segregation was still significant. My cousin visited our family there one time and recently told me about she recalled the separation between white and black people there. She is from Indiana where that was not in her world, and my family had just moved there from Michigan. So we were both shocked to see anyone being treated as if they were less than.
I have always believed people of all races, sexes, backgrounds, religions are equal. Some moments in the Deep South years ago were a crucial lesson I locked in my heart. Now I empower and provide freedom for people who believe they were limited in some way.
Helping older children, teens gain confidence in life is another mission I work tirelessly on. It seems empowering woman to take charge of their lives when they are feeling guilty, victimized, frustrated, trapped and hopeless is a calling for me as well. For we all need love and encouragement, and many feel trapped or guilty when their relationship ends on any terms.
Life is to be lived and lived fully. Then why do so many live at 25 or 35 percent of their potential? Even the most accomplished among is, however, still held back by doubt, fear. A conscious decision to be brave or risk it all has limitations. But you can live a confident, powerful and empowered life regardless of your past.
Let nothing — not your fears, not your bias, not your lack of income — hold you back from accomplishing all that you want in life. If you need help taking charge of your life, don’t hesitate to contact me via email at UDTherapy@gmail.com.
