Community at Christmas
Andrew Pepar
The impacts of COVID, AI, climate change, and polarisation shape our world. In this complexity, human trust and connection is paramount. We need leaders with empathy, who work in partnership, to create shared value.
What role does community play in your life?
Community is a reminder that we aren't alone. It is a practical expression of the universal truth that:
We are all one.
The fabric of community feels likes give and take.
But it isn't transactional. It is something that exists beyond any altruist action.
We become a community when we open our hearts to more than just ourselves.
It's essentially? an energy of shared support that is kept alive by those that believe in it:
It is the kindness of strangers.
The food delivery at your door when you are going through a hard time.
Co workers checking in with you.
Taking the time to help someone who needs it.
As you wind down the year, who can you open your heart to?
Christmas may feel like its about presents and rituals.
More than anything it's a chance to come together as one.
And if there's anything we've been taught in 2024, its that being one is way better than being divided.
