I deeply resonated with Lynne Twist's differentiation between taking a stand and taking a position. So many of us believe that if there is a winner, there must be a loser, that uplifting a truth means making others wrong. I've loved learning that this does not have to be the case. By taking a stand, I speak my authentic truth and honor that others speak their authentic truth as well. It's creates so much space for all to be heard. And it is actually in speaking my truth that I create that safe space for others to speak theirs; that's the deep irony here.
