This was another great topic. I love how we shape the final line to bring it all together. Lovely…
Belonging
Sense of belonging
Where people know who you are
Do they know you
It is a sense a feeling of belonging
Sometimes we don’t feel like we belong
Why
It is a connection
But even with connection I don’t always feel like I belong
Inclusiveness
What happens if you don’t fit
Whose responsibility is it?
I know when I feel like I belong
i was existing but not belonging
Belonging has helped me express
I feel so much better now I can express
Belonging isbeinnng able to be me
To just listen
And be part of it
And bounce off
Finding your tribe
Being there even if they don’t understand just being there
What’s the key to belonging
Building relationships
It takes time
When we belong we can achieve things
Belonging takes time
We need to belong as humans
If not we feel helpless and useless
Belonging is more than belonging in a group
It is true interest and caring
It is about expanding your world
To belong
It comes with vulnerability
It is effort and you’re doing it
It’s exposure
The only way is doing it
Overcoming vulnerability to build a sense of belonging
To overcome vulnerability
Courage
Bravery
A supportive environment
Sometimes persistence
Can you disagree and still belong
Perhaps a different philosophy
Perhaps a different mission
Perhaps it doesn’t feel right
It may tell you that you don’t belong
It may not be right
What you feel matters
Being yourself matters
Being open and real matters
Being real matters
Not pretending – not a facade – being you
Body language tone tells you – gives you clues
Ask yourself – do I want to belong ?
What about belongings??
Things that belong to you
Importantly belong to yourself
