"We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others." — Will Rogers I strive to be a lifelong learner & active listener. I enjoy meeting people & making new friends everywhere I go. I love learning about people’s experiences & perspectives. When I speak I always speak from the heart. I believe that empathy & intuition are the highest forms of wisdom. I always see people from the inside out instead of the outside in. True beauty is in the heart & not in the skin. My life’s work is self-improvement & societal betterment. In one sentence I’d describe myself as an old soul that doesn’t feel like it belongs in this currently backwards world 🤷‍♂️ “For peace to reign on Earth, humans must evolve into new beings who have learned to see the whole first.” — Immanuel Kant His Holiness Bahá’u’llah, Prophet-Founder of the Baha’i Faith, wrote that today is the Promised Day of God which all of humanity has been awaiting. This is the Day when humanity will finally have world peace & unity in diversity. All will come together as one human family & love each other. He said this in the 1800s when He was exiled as a prisoner to the Holy Land from Persia (modern day Iran). He prophesied 2 world wars that would happen if the clergy & rulers of His time didn’t work towards peace & put aside their differences. Finally, He also promised that at the end of all these wars humanity would realize that love, peace & unity are the only way forward if we’re all to live in harmony together for good.

We’ve come so far & yet we have even farther to go… IF ONLY PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD THAT THEIR TRUE POWER WAS IN UNITY. Higher Consciousness Hack: “Instead of viewing others as 'bad' or 'wrong' or 'evil' - simply view them as limited. Their level of consciousness limits them to unpalatable behaviors and they simply cannot do better considering their current level of understanding and awareness. They are not bad, they are simply limited. This small shift in perspective allows you greater peace, greater compassion, forgiveness and grace. Remember, the higher you move in consciousness, the less fault you find in others.” — Renata Merino 👩 🟰 👨 #OurStoryIsOne #WomenLifeFreedom #StandUpToAllHate #SayNoToRacism #ChooseToInclude
