It is clear to me that people drawn to this website are going above and beyond to offer their passion and creativity in their work, not for any paycheck, but for the deep satisfaction of living out one's purpose in life. I can visualize all the therapists out there, striving to be their best, doing google searches to search for ways to meaningfully engage their clients. I can see an army of caring and concerned warriors, filled with longing to be of service and the intention to make a difference in the life of someone else.
What a blessing to live in such a world, full of compassionate, dedicated people. I want to tell each and every one of you: THANK YOU. Thank you for everything you do to make the world a better place. You may sometimes get discouraged, exhausted, or depleted, but remember that every moment of caring you send out into the world has an impact. Take care of your precious heart and don't ever give up. Remember that you are a blessing to those whom you serve and that others are lucky to receive your self-sacrificing efforts.
I sometimes like to imagine I'm looking at humanity from a distance, like I'm from another planet or I'm from the future looking back on what our species was about. In the midst of all the cruelty and blind ambition that is rampant in our world, those of us dedicated to healing, justice, and wisdom are helping to tip the scales and shift our species' profile toward one of sanity and benevolence. We are redeeming ourselves for the wrongs we have committed and restoring what has been lost or broken. We are creating the possibility for a future we can believe in. Knowing you are out there makes me glad to be human.
