You've only got so much energy
Exhausted by the arcane and archaic politics that have been all around this last fortnight? Drained by the constant criticism of others and those who are in leadership positions?
If so, maybe take 5 minutes to read this excellent article on Greta and Malala.
What role models they are. And not for a younger generation. How patronising. No, for us all.
We only have so much energy, only so many daylight hours and only so much capacity. Think carefully how you want to use it.
Lose the plot watching the daftness of others or act on your convictions to nourish, embolden and do those things, little and large, that you’d wish others to emulate.
Be interested in the future and add your own special energy. Inspire yourself and don’t get exhausted watching others.

5 年Thanks for sharing. I learnt this important lesson not so long ago - to not get sucked in by others' negative behaviour, to walk away (much quicker) from those who could not see other viewpoints or care about them, and to be ok with not having been able to change that. And I've found so much more inspiration, kindness and hope by remembering this.
