Message from Tarzan
WELCOME TO THIS MAGIC MONDAY MOMENT
Kicking off your week with some thoughts around a favorite Disney quote (because in my world - Disney is life!).
original message date: 06/06/22
Happy Monday!
I long for a world where everyone accepts everyone just as that are. Are you with me? Reality tells me that we are still (too) far from that. But as much as I see what I perceive to be “the ick” – I also see the good.
And I also know that we all have biases. Me, you, everyone. There is no shame in acknowledging that. When we do – our defenses will come down and our judgement will soften. And we can ask ourselves good questions – just like this one from Tarzan from the 1999 Disney animated movie of the same name:
We all have experiences that shape our thinking and our deep-rooted beliefs. And we all have human brains – which means we can challenge and shift our thoughts, open up to new perspectives and create new beliefs.
I believe it is our human responsibility – especially if you are in a leadership role – to ask yourself and others questions like this one from Tarzan. And to ask not from a place of defensiveness or judgment – but from curiosity and openness. You will likely experience a stronger sense of compassion - for yourself and for others.
That is where acceptance begins, and connection grows.
We have the opportunity to make our world a better place in our everyday interactions. What will you do?
This week – look to raise your own awareness of times when you might judge others based on who they are. No judgment. Just awareness.
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
