Love Over Ego: A Call for Compassion

Be humble. Be mindful—of where you are and where others are, too. Perspective changes everything.

We live in a world overflowing with information—social media, news, opinions coming at us from every direction. How we feel in a given moment shapes how we interpret it all. And yet, no matter how much we think we understand, we can never fully grasp what someone else is carrying unless we’ve walked not just a mile, but a lifetime in their shoes.

Judge less; listen more.

Our egos push us to do more, fight more, earn more—always striving, always proving. But this endless chase for validation is exhausting. And in a world that often feels divided, it’s all too easy to build walls around ourselves, demonizing those who don’t share our views. But if we turn on each other, what does that make us? No better than those we claim to stand against.

As we move forward through April, I hope we can all commit to being a little kinder—not just to ourselves, but to one another. Life is unpredictable; it ebbs and flows. But one thing remains true: kindness costs nothing and has a ripple effect.

This cycle of tit for tat, of meeting harm with more harm—it has to stop. Fighting hate with hate only breeds more of the same. The only real answer is love. Always.
