Back in April, we hosted an Inspiration Challenge Giveaway where we asked our community to share stories of the people who inspired them...read two that melted our hearts and inspired us beyond words.
In the last week of our Project, we ask you to zoom out for a bit and look at everything you have managed to un-cancel over the past weeks. By embracing the best of what makes us human, you’ve already succeeded in embodying the final theme of the Un-Canceled Project.
We all, as walkers, runners, and exercisers, know the importance of this week’s un-cancelable human quality: Perseverance. Every single one of us has faced moments where we wanted to give up and stop chasing our goals, but we didn’t. We persevered.
We understand that there is institutional racism built into our society and justice system, but we will never know how it feels to experience it first hand. We know THAT we don’t know, but we don’t know WHAT we don’t know. We have collectively decided to take both short-term and long-term actions in an effort to listen, learn, and support the eradication of systemic racism within areas we can control.
We’ve all heard “no man is an island” or “it takes a village” in some form or another, and we have all had the experiences of needing to seek aid from another person we trust. That’s why we want to focus on Community this week.
We always have a choice to make in life: we can either allow ourselves to be swept away by the gloom, or we can rise up and choose to seek joy even in the darkest of places.
This week’s un-cancelable human quality is our ability to dream. Without dreams, there would be no progress. Without dreams, there would be no improvement.
Run The Edge is pleased to announce that we will prolong The Un-Canceled Project for an additional six weeks! The second phase of the Project lasts from May 10th to June 21st, and will be called “The Un-Canceled Project 2.”
This week's quality is Commitment. Now, commitment may not be the most glamorous aspect of being human, but it is one of the most important. Our commitment is what determines our success.
It’s okay to feel fear and apprehension as we do our best to navigate this turbulent era. It’s okay to not be fully optimistic about the future right now. It’s okay to admit that we don’t have all the answers. What we do have is our un-cancelable human quality of the week: courage.
