All you have to do to know that we are in a crisis as a society locally, nationally and globally is to turn on the news. Hunger, homelessness, addiction, disease, mental illness and even death comes in contact with nearly everyone's sphere of influence in today's tumultuous climate. 

Sadly, we have learned that a "one size fits all" approach to a global community is disastrous to the individuals that don't or can't conform to this approach. 

We know that only by cultivating the talents and abilities of each individual, and helping each individual to find their own self-worth can we affect change throughout the world. 

When someone recognizes their own divine nature and then seeks to become the best they can be, they are able to then reconcile their past and move forward in a positive, healing direction.
