 Spiral dynamics 
 Apparently Google searches suck on this topic now… This book is worth reading https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/204687.Spiral_Dynamics 
 I feel like that makes life even more unbearably frustrating, because it would mean that the most limited people somehow magically also become the most powerful and successful. 
 Kinda makes sense though. Look around at many of the 'most powerful' people in the world. We just need to redefine our definition of success to escape some of that frustration 💜🙌🙏 
 I wish it was that easy, but that's the equivalent of sticking our heads into the sand and pretending that these people don't exist.

Redefining words has no consequences, they still have real actual power that affects our lives in dramatic ways, they drop bombs, poison our food, turn our institutions against us (law, journalism, healthcare) and steal our wealth. 
 Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe this is why it comes down to perspective. 

Realising anger and frustration can never result in peace and freedom was a huge moment for me. 🕊️✨🙏 
 Or maybe consider them just.... different. Peaceful coexistence can be a  really hard challenge.
