Thought Architects’ Post

Happy National Civility Month! That's right, there is a whole month dedicated to civility - although we should be practicing it *every* month. August, in particular, is the perfect time to reflect on civility - the importance of kindness, respect, and understanding in our daily interactions. ⭐ Let this month, and the months beyond, encourage us to reflect on how we can contribute to a more civil society, whether at work, in our communities, or at home. Remember, civility is more than just politeness—it's about fostering a culture of empathy, thoughtful communication, and mutual respect. Check out how you can observe this month below and read more about civility in the link provided. #NationalCivilityMonth #Civility #Empathy #Respect #Civiltalk https://lnkd.in/gkwy9git

You will only be celebrated at the level you can celebrate others! Keep resisting clapping for others and you will never hear anyone clapping for you. This principle underscores the importance of fostering a supportive community. When you uplift those around you, you create a cycle of encouragement and positivity. Every compliment you give, every achievement you acknowledge, contributes to an environment where everyone feels valued. Imagine a world where recognition is abundant—where people celebrate each other's successes, big and small. In this world, the applause you give others is reflected back to you in unexpected ways. Your support can inspire someone to reach their potential, and in turn, their success can shine a light on your own contributions. Conversely, if you choose to remain silent or to withhold praise, you risk isolating yourself. The energy you radiate influences how others perceive you. So, embrace the joy of celebrating others. Share in their victories and learn from their journeys. The more you give, the more you will receive, creating a harmonious cycle of appreciation and growth. Happy new year

National Civility Month People being civil with each other makes the world a much better place and is the key focus of National Civility Month, which is held in August each year. This observance was founded to help the world remember to treat others with kindness, empathy, and respect. Why is civility important? For some, civility is the essential glue that holds society together, and it involves such important issues as friendship, altruism, responsibility, dignity, and justice. Aristotle saw civility as a form of friendship, which he understood as a mutual feeling of good will.

Respect is the Foundation of Humanity Respecting others is the cornerstone of building harmonious relationships and a just society. It means acknowledging people's rights, opinions, and individuality, regardless of their background or beliefs. When we treat others with respect, we foster mutual understanding, trust, and cooperation. Respect goes beyond politeness; it’s about valuing others for who they are and appreciating their contributions. By showing kindness and empathy, we create an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered. Respect isn't just given—it’s earned through actions, words, and attitudes that uplift and support one another.

The Radiant Quest for Clarity I imagine Cain and Abel feeling as we do now—quietly disagreeable, a mere glance away from violence. Perhaps Romulus and Remus, who loved each other from the womb, glimpsed in one another a reflection of ideas so diametrically opposed that it felt like hate and mourned the love that was lost. Did Jacob and Esau, like us, born of the same mother, lament their inability to understand each other and resolve, with deep certainty, to forge paths that carried them away from one another? Purpose can be found in both paths: in bridging divides or embracing conflict. As with Cain and Abel, Romulus and Remus, and Jacob and Esau, the choice shapes our story. Seeking clarity through connection transforms conflict into meaning and love. Yet, those who find purpose in rivalry must ask if that path truly fulfills or leaves them chasing a resolution that never comes. The choice defines the legacy we build. Read this open letter and respond as you feel led. https://lnkd.in/ek3Dpm4t #radiantqueatforclarity #Clarity #wisdom #citytoinspire

Honor Your Authenticity 🌈 Honor Their Authenticity 🌈 June is Pride Month, a time dedicated to celebrating authenticity, respect, and love. As we honor this month, I want to take a moment to reflect on what it truly means to "be who you came to be." At the heart of my message is the belief that self-acceptance and love are powerful forces. Embracing who we are, with all our unique qualities, is the first step toward living a fulfilling and impactful life. But equally important is the way we honor and respect the authenticity of others. We didn't come to be like each other, and that's a beautiful thing. In our journey to "be who we came to be," love is our guide. It's through kindness and understanding that we build bridges and create spaces where everyone feels valued and respected. This isn't about politics or making grand statements; it's about recognizing and celebrating our shared humanity. My wish for June is that you'll feel inspired to embrace your own authenticity and to extend that respect and love to others. And this wish message is not just for Pride Month, but for every day. It's about creating a world where everyone has the freedom to be who they came to be. Keep shining friends 🌈 Be who you came to be. I’m curious, what does Pride month mean for you? #pride #pridemonth #inclusion #diversity #love #emotionalintelligence #keynotespeaker

Journal Entry: Embracing Civility and Aloha May 29, 2024 1:29 am Embracing Civility and Aloha in Modern Life Today, I reflected on civility and Aloha, two timeless values that are incredibly relevant in our fast-paced world. Civility is about genuine respect and empathy, while Aloha embodies love, peace, and compassion. Here’s how we can integrate these values into our daily lives: Active Listening: Truly listen to others. Show Respect: Treat everyone with dignity. Extend Kindness: Small acts can make a big impact. Foster Community: Engage with and support your local community. Live with Gratitude: Appreciate everyday moments. By embracing civility and Aloha, we can create a more connected, compassionate world. Let’s make these ideals daily practices for a brighter future.

Happy Pride, y'all. Pride is officially the month of June, but in truth it's all year long. We may celebrate it in different ways, but it's all tied to the freedom to live our lives openly and honestly. So be who you are for your priiiiiiiide! And if you don't know, here's the video: https://lnkd.in/e2mnsJZM

How can we (re)connect with G-d in a deeper level, then ever before, and in our humanity? In a world where technology is king and face-to-face conversation is a rarity, we've become hardened and disconnected. Our youth are growing up without a clear sense of identity, and the reactions of the older generation are often callous and without empathy. But where is The Love? Where is the vulnerability that makes us human? As believers in the G-d of Avraham Yitzchak and Yaakov, let us dare to show gratitude and seek forgiveness. Let us embrace the key to a clean beginning - HIS TRUTH. It's time to (re)connect with G-d and our humanity and with each other.

A quote by Malcolm X, the American human rights activist: 📖 "Why am I as I am? To understand that of any person, his whole life, from birth must be reviewed.
