Living and leading when your heart motivation is love is a beautiful thing. You bring peace, stay curious, and set a culture of connection and authenticity. But what happens when you are basing everything from this place of fear. When all your actions, thoughts, and questions are dipped in fear. Sometimes fear even masquerades as love. The fear of present pain out ways the love found in future health.

The Elder stage of Maturity is the most crucial and lease reached stage of maturity. Without True Elders in our community we fail to know who we are and how it is for us, as humans to act. The goal of Elders is to sacrificially care of the community, with joy. We are living in the result of a world without True Elders.
