Very well put Ilona, and quite similar to the philosophy I ask my children to think about:

  • know yourself (you are an individual / loneliness is priceless) - it's who you are, not what you do / who you know.
  • support yourself (read! take care of yourself / avoid toxic people) - take the confidence in who you are and make a life for yourself.
  • support others - relationships matter (they build worlds), everyone is your equal (golden rule), everyone has something to learn (your own children perhaps?) . Also for the brave: go back to toxic people, they need you too!
