How To Embrace Your Diversity?
1. Everyone’s Narrative - Consider your own life, and everything that has shaped your beliefs.
Realize that each of the 7 billion people on this planet has their own narrative. Not one is the same.
2. Where are you coming from? - When you find yourself thinking poorly of someone, stop and
consider what influences have created your negative views of that individual.
3. Befriend all people – If you know that you tend to avoid befriending certain types of people, go
out of your way to find friends of all kinds.
4. Empathy – When you encounter anyone, try to imagine, understand, and sympathize with that
person’s story, with everything that has made them who they are.
5. Actively accept – meditate upon embracing other people, with all of the diversity that comes
with them. Don’t allow yourself to define a person based upon one stereotype about one aspect of
their complex identity.
6. Show compassion - Perform random acts of kindness for all types of people. It can be as simple
as a friendly smile or holding open a door.
