“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
-Paulo Coelho
The events and moments of silence taken to remember 9/11 served as an important reminder that bad things can and do happen and that our reaction to them is everything.
At a time when it is easy to be divided on issues of the day, it is hard to argue that we aren’t far better when we unify on the many things we agree on, take responsibility for ourselves, protect the vulnerable, and perform small acts of kindness for our fellow citizens.
Let’s not let that reminder fade easily and instead double down on looking after one another, getting better, and moving forward. Have a great week!
