individual human initiatives. If you feel that
you cannot have much of an effect, the next
person may also become discouraged and a
great opportunity will have been lost.
On the other hand, each of us can inspire




                                                 ”

• To be connected – you have to look at your heart – otherwise
  you will not be able to respond to criticism – you will always be
  defending. The heart needs to be a place of peace. (need to
  know what you believe and be OK with that - worldviews ?)

  being able to forgive, soft individualism, working from a position
  of weakness, taking responsibility for our own actions.
