Empathy and sympathy are often used interchangeably when talking to people, yet they have wildly different meanings. When they are used, the goal is often to respond emotionally to another person's circumstances. Sympathy, however, is responding without connecting emotionally to someone while empathy is connecting emotionally. It is often said that sympathy separates us while empathy brings us together. Sympathy keeps and maintains a distance between people. Empathy, on the other hand, allows us to be present. I challenge you to be present in the moment today. Peace & love to all ~ KO

I believe that we are, by nature, rebellious creatures. When growing up, people often told us not to touch that stove, yet we touched it anyways. Remember when somebody said we couldn't do things, and we did it in spite of? When I advocate for people, it's not always having to work within the system. Sometimes life is about making a new system within a system. It's about breaking down walls and barriers. Sometimes it is looking "society in the face and say I understand who you want me to be but I'm going to show you who I actually am" (Anthony Anaxagorou). Other times, it is what Marilyn Monroe believed - "If I had observed all the rules, l'd never have gotten anywhere." Find your rebellious nature that pushes society forward. Be the person you want to be, not the person other people want you to be. Peace & love to all ~ KO

Loneliness is a global pandemic. According to a Gallup poll, nearly one in four people report experiencing some level of loneliness. This equates to a little over a billion people globally. Loneliness has many detrimental health and life problems. For me, when I experienced it in the past, I had suicidal thoughts, used illicit substances, licit substances, prayed to not wake up the next morning, went AWOL, checked myself into mental health institutions, called crisis hotlines, took medication that didn't work because I lied to my provider, and was only filling the void through false hope. Today, I don't have to do those things. I have genuine hope, peace, and love. Of course, this was loneliness mixed with addiction and other things too. Make today a great day. Hug somebody today. Tell someone you love them. Peace & love to all ~ KO Seek immediate help if you or someone you know needs it.

Biggie Smalls said in one of his hit songs, "Yeah, this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin... All the people in the struggle... When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this... You know very well who you are. Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars..." Like many people, Biggie Smalls grew up poor, in a crime ridden environment. He became famous, but not overnight. He grew up facing life's challenges. He faced life's fears. He showed the world what it meant to be different and to succeed. He showed those who never believed in him that he could do it. Moral of the story: Have self-confidence. Believe in yourself. Reach for the stars. Don't let anyone hold you back from your dreams. Peace & love to all ~ KO
