Why Interactions Matter

I was talking to a good friend of mine the other day about why I believe in investing in people, and it went something like this:

"I believe in investing in people when I am volunteering, teaching and mentoring, because humans are a part of the big equation. In the next couple of decades, maybe less, the relationship between humans and nature is going to change dramatically and the products of those things being added together is going to equal some sort of outcome.

humans+non-humans+some sort of divine?= Unknown Outcome

Knowing this information, I believe that in order to change the possible effects of the outcome, we must nurture others with a positive, real, hopeful vision for the future."

Our interactions with each other, create these personal webs, at least, that's how I imagine them. And in our webs are all of the interactions and experiences we have had by ourselves and with others and with non-humans. And inevitably combinations of the interactions and our essence, form and shape who we end up being and contribute to the actions we make and take in this lifetime.

So, if we think about that, then it becomes extremely important to leave positive impacts on the people around us and live the life we aspire others to live. Makes sense, right?

"In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision". -Dalai Lama

On everything we touch and every person we interact with, we must leave a kiss of kindness and a hug of hope and inspiration through our thoughts and actions. We must do these things to help create a "positive vision", to help remind ourselves that a positive outcome is possible through "positive action". And that the only way this string of things survives is through our synergy with each other and with non-humans.

It's a pretty big weight to bear, but we have created our current reality, and in the over arching reality there is great unrest. There is also great power in realizing that through our relationships with each other, that we can transform the unrest into some sort of action that needs to happen.

So I leave you with these thoughts:

Knowing everything you know now, kiss your kids, by kind to all humans and non-humans, hug a tree, have compassion, live with gusto and true intention, because our realities are exactly what we make them and they have the power to positively or negatively affect others.

"If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that". -Ellen DeGeneres

Lets contribute to that! I look forward to chatting with you next time.

All my love,
