Feature Story by Sonja Montiel: 'The Gilded Age'

Let’s change this gilded age and celebrate achievement for what it is – a mindset that has overcome challenges through investment of time, endurance, dedication, perseverance, commitment and so many other virtues. Let’s offer encouragement of effort rather than praise. Let’s focus our attention on the person achieving, rather than the measurement of it. Why? Imagine our world where people never stop learning. They are contributing their talents and abilities to solve problems because they care. They engage with one another with self-trust that leads to trustworthiness and belonging. Ultimately, our world will be so grateful for it. Featured in: ‘The Clean Edition’ of AwareNow Magazine Topic: Education, Parenting Produced by: Awareness Ties Written & Narrated by: Sonja Montiel
