What we have in common

Have you ever wondered what we have in common with others? I think that if we knew how much we have in common with every single person now living in time and space,  in terms of our deepest hopes and dreams, fears and worries, you'd wonder why some of us fear other people.

For ourselves, many of us dreams and the hope of being safe, within our own home. Now your definition of what a safe and welcoming home may be different than mine, but we both hope for this. 

We hope we can stay or become fit, and vibrantly alive. We also may want to be beautiful, rich, and healthy. 

We all have a deep need to have friends and a supportive and caring family where we feel loved and cherished. 

We also hope that our friends, colleagues and family hold us in some respect. I believe all of us when we see the joy and smile on a toddlers face, are filled with joy ourselves.

What are your deepest hopes and dreams for yourself, for your children? As parents and grandparents, we have the desire to protect our offspring and to create opportunities for them to be successful.  At the very core, of what we hope is that they have a safe, secure and successful, life.

What other dreams and hopes do you have for yourself or your family?

I suggest that as we begin to understand that my dreams and your dreams at their core are not that different, we should think of every single person as a friend or a person who is about to be a friend, just as I do.
