Thank you Mister Rogers!

Sadly, when children don’t learn trust, they learn to not trust … they learn to be fearful, prejudiced, and therefore disrespectful … to hurt first and ask questions later … this I know as truth too.

…

On another note, check this out! Mister Rogers was then awarded $$$ by the government … so it will be interesting to see what support “Connecting The Dots With The Respect Principle” can secure for its school, community, and prison programs

American Leaders … Time To Step Up and Protect The School Children

Posted on by

Schools already have enough problems among the students … undernourishment, neglect fallout, not enough resources, laptops, books, etc. to do the work, cliques, ostracizing, bullying, abuse, and violence … so please leadership, do what you can do not to add to the burdens of children … and those responsible for them.

Humble … The Trick Is Understanding Your Worth

Posted on by
Been seeing posts on being humble, so I have shared a link and its definitions, yet I am also going to share my perspective …
 
There are a lot of contradictory words listed below, but my experience has taught me this … when a person tries to step out and be an individual, especially one different from the pack one comes from, the pack will often attempt to push such a person back down with words like, “Who do you think you are?, “Arrogant, aren’t you?” “Big ego, how do you hold your big head up?” “You should humble yourself because you are no better than anyone else.”
 
I also know from experience those who have been pushed down a lot often have to develop a large ego just to keep getting back up, that is, until as I discovered later in life, I do not have to justify being myself because I am just as entitled as everyone else to respect … being valued … simply for being a life.
 
People don’t have to like me, approve of me, etc., and I don’t have to like them, approve of them etc. either, but I will not cut people down, try to make them feel small or insignificant in order to make myself feel better because I don’t have to anymore because I know better now.
 
I also learned psychologists know recovering from what I went through is unlikely for many.
 
Yes, I have had to deal with the inflated ego I developed because of how badly broken my heart and spirit had become because otherwise I would not still be alive. It’s been a long process that took a lot of personal work and healing. God helped me though through the hardest parts when no one else could or would and when I could no longer help myself. He helped me to really believe that I am valuable too, just as He helped me to believe in the work He put in my heart to do … to help everyone … believers or not … to realize that every life is valuable … worthy of respect … and that each person needs to discover what their unique purpose is and to fulfill that purpose regardless of what others think, judge, or condemn … because it is not a person’s judgment we face at the end of our lives … it’s ours … and if you are a believer … His.

Violence Diminishes when “Respect Levels” Rise … Raise Yours to Help

Posted on by

I just applied to do a TED Talk to take the “Connecting The Dots With The Respect Principle” concept to the global audience so they can discover why, how, and what they can do to make “Respect” their foundational belief, regardless of their other foundational beliefs, such as religion, politics, sex, etc., way of speaking and acting in their circles of influences so everyone knows they matter … whatever their skin color, background, social status, financial worth, and any other discriminatory category/label someone wants to segregate and devalue them with …

… because people who truly value … respect themselves, also value … respect others … and they have no desire or need to make others feel small or to harm them.

Maybe enough people are finally ready to listen to discover what they can personally do to make the needed changes. I sure hope so, but regardless, I will keep on until they are.

Albert Einstein, Curiosity, and Realizing Our Potential

Posted on by

I didn’t understand why, with all the knowledge and wisdom humanity has, why had we not yet solved so many of our social problems … and this question set me on a quest of many years to discover why and what could be done about it … and the result developed “Connecting The Dots With The Respect Principle” concept as a global initiative.

It’s amazing what curiosity and the passion to help others can do … no matter who you are.

Abraham Lincoln Inspired Me and …

Posted on by

Like Lincoln, since 1997 I have traveled, lived, and worked among many people. When combined with my own experiences, both revealed how many Canadians in Ontario live, from the wealthy to the poorest. Everyone, no matter their title or not, status or none, their income or lack of, etc. inspired me come up with something we could all use, Connecting The Dots With The Respect Principle, to co-create better lives for everyone … which Abraham Lincoln greatly influenced.

Thank you for sharing more of his story in the article on the following link …

The Day After Valentine’s Day … 10 Things to Ponder

Posted on by

The day after Valentine’s Day, people have posted images of the cards, the flowers, and the trinkets received yesterday.

But as many of us know, there is the other side of love many of us have experienced …

  1. There is the pain of rejection when someone we love does not love us in return.
  2. There is the loss of innocence when we realize love does not always overcome our differences.
  3. There is the loss of what could have been when we realize we want separate things in life.
  4. There is despair when we realize people love us conditionally.
  5. There is anger, sadness, grief, and even hate when love turns against us.
  6. There is resentment and maybe even a desire for vengeance with the betrayal of trust and of the commitment.
  7. There is deep sorrow with both a divorce and with a death of a loved one.
  8. There is sorrow for a short or a long time together.
  9. There is regret for not learning to love unconditionally.
  10. There is the emptiness of never feeling loved.

Hopefully, our joys are greater than the sorrows.

Wishing you respect and love, to give and to receive … because without respect, love and its loss, hurts much more.

Respectfully,

Kaitlin
