As many of you already know Nelson Mandela passed away yesterday at the age of 95. His passing is not just a loss for South Africans but for the entire world. However, there is much to celebrated in terms of what he accomplished and those that he inspired. He was courageous and there is much to be learned from the life that he lived.
I chose not to post my typical post today because I would like to take the time to reflect on not only the life of such a valiant man but also on my life as well. What can I take from the lessons that he taught? How can I be a better person? Yesterday we lost a visionary. Someone who dedicated their life to teaching peace and love. I lost someone that I admire immensely.
"No one person is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."
