After recently spending time studying Rastafari, one of the many things that struck a chord with me is the need to be alert like the Lion. This for the purpose of guarding my energy against negativity in any of its forms.
I'm daily confronted with situations, people and environments that I know are not for me, but I'm also faced with many more that are seemingly harmless. For instance, work. Being in the Public Affairs field has been a mixed bag; I enjoy my career, but it does involve me crafting messaging on behalf of my organization. As a result, I often find myself using the collective "we" even outside of work. This is disturbing because when people become part of a unit, they lose individuality - free think. I don't ever want to lose this ability.
My inner Lioness stays woke, guarding against the effects of the collective "we" because the day I stop learning is the day I want to die.
