A New Year, A New Choice: Hope Over Hierarchy

There’s a Different Path—And We’re Standing at the Threshold

As we step into 2026, I find myself asking a simple but urgent question: What if we stopped wasting our precious time trying to feel superior to one another? What if we finally laid down the heavy baggage of hierarchy, comparison, and all the “isms” that have caused so much harm—and chose hope instead?

In my latest blog post for the We Are Hope Movement, I reflect on what I call the poison of superiority—how it fractures communities, distorts our sense of worth, and even harms us at a cellular level. I also share why both spiritual wisdom and modern science point to the same truth: human flourishing depends on dignity, participation, and unity—not dominance.

If you’re longing for a world where we celebrate each other’s growth rather than compete, I invite you to read the full reflection. This post is an excerpt from my blog article at https://wearehope.world/blog/f/the-poison-of-superiority .

Does the season make you jolly or stressed?

Does the season make you jolly or stressed?

Maybe it would benefit us all if we changed our tune just a little bit to include, ‘Tis the season to make others happy.’ 

Look around you, who is in need of a little care and happiness?   When our focus is on making other’s happy, we are making space for our own joy and grace.

If you’re not happy, perhaps you are focused on the wrong things. To be happy, sometimes we just need to appreciate and recognize what we already have.

To experience joy, we just need to remember how blessed and loved we are to have a job, or talents, a place to lay our heads at night, loved ones around us, or even a healthy mind and body. Usually around this time of year, we’re figuring out how to get my step-mom here for the holidays. This year she is no longer with us. Be grateful for the loved ones in your life RIGHT now.  Spending so much time with her  in the hospital before she passed reminded me even more of the importance of health.   If you have your health, then you have something to truly  be jolly and happy about.  I’m healthy and I’m happy and I am grateful.  I hope you are too!
