Motivational Monday ~ Become A Cycle Breaker

Hi Dorie,
I absolutely agree. Sadly, however, there is a segment of the population that is always looking for an excuse to be violent and destroy property. It would be nice if that cycle could change!

hI Dorie- I too will check this out. When I was in grad school and learning about behaviorism, what struck me was that it was not enough to try to change someone's mind. It was through a change in behavior that change can come about. Saying that we need to come together is not enough. Each one of us can change our behavior...how we reach to others and how we react to those whose behavior is unacceptable. 

For the way that poor man was brutalized, the justice that needs to be given should be well reported. Buring down the town will do nothing for that man and justice will prevail especially if those officers get prison time. 

I love the idea of this, Dorie.  I wish we had more enlightened souls to instruct us on how to truly go about that.  How do we reason with unreasonable people to do something different than what they are doing?  The last few days (and beyond), have provided horrific examples of what needs to change.  

CONGRATULATIONS Dorie, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!  

Dorie the more God is taken out of schools, the work place, and our communities, the more it seems senseless actions like this take place.  We can't let actions like this dictate what we do and behave.  Good can win over evil.

I like the message of being ' cycle breakers' - we need to hear that now more than ever sadly. I didn't know about the Sunday paper but will check it out 

I love the idea of cycle breakers. CHANGE IS NEEED`Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend.

Good morning Dorie. Reminds me of "I don't fix problems. - I change my thinking - The problems solve themselves" Why can't we break the cycle? Enjoy your day.

We also can't let senseless acts of violence by individual people cause us to consider all others who are like them in race, occupation, etc. to be responsible for their acts.

There is so much to learn from all of this and to take what you can from it and I will try to make tit happened with fewer mistakes

It is so sad to see and hear some of the atrocious happenings these days. Social media and daily news brings us more than we want to know. Yet, not knowing about these things would not make them go away. We must have change for the better.

Now that is a fact!!! My world got broken and now new patterns emerge. Like me getting to pop in here and say hi to you!! 🙏

I love the term "cycle breaker" ... no matter what the issue ... I think of something my mother always said "two wrongs never make a right" ... stand up for those who are being harmed and do no harm -- 😇
