Whether you’re born privileged or born poor…
Whether you grow up with a large family or are raised as an only child by a single parent…
Whether you have 50 friends or one friend…
Whether you graduate top of your class with a Ph.D. or drop out after high school…
Whether you climb the corporate ladder or work minimum wage jobs throughout your life…
Whether you have kids at 16 or 46 and whether you have 1 kid, 4 kids, 8 kids, or none at all…
Whether you are neurotypical or neurodivergent…
Whether you have exceptional abilities or a disability…
Whether you travel the world or live in the same place your whole life…
Whether you have access to all of the latest technology or none of it at all…
All of the above have examples of people—both alive today and from throughout history—who have lived incredible lives despite their starting or ongoing circumstances.
So long as there is an unfolding path in front of you, there’s a chance for self-actualized beauty, inspiration, and awe in one’s life.
Where the argument can’t be made, however, is when innocent people’s paths are abruptly and tragically ended.
And right now, there’s a genocide happening in our world—in 2026—in Gaza.
As of today, 21,000 children have been confirmed killed in Gaza since the outbreak of hostilities on October 7, 2023.
…Children.
Little people who will never get the chance to walk their path towards self-actualized anything in their life.
…And the killing is still happening today.
My mind can’t grasp it. My heart breaks. My soul feels enraged.
My inner work thought of the day is simple: Free Palestine.
