Criticism is no threat to your self-esteem or identity, but rather informs you.
Find comfort in questioning yourself.
We must question every inner-belief we possess without fear or attachment.
We must understand that out of community and dialogue, the answers will arrive in their own time and way.
We must strive for literacy and education that teach us to never quit questioning and probing at the assumptions of the day.
We must reprogram ourselves to understand that cooperation is a higher principle than competition.
We must quit thinking we know everything, and quit placing "knowledge" over kindness and compassion.
We must quit living vicariously through the fictional lives of TV and movie characters, and become the stars of our own real-life stories of adventure and creativity.
We must plant trees, grow gardens instead of lawns, ride bicycles when we can and support responsible local businesses over big brands.
We must remember that nature is the supreme cradle of life, and must be protected and treated with the highest respect and care.
