Turning My Goal of Reaching 1 Billion People into a Reality



Do you have a Big Hairy, Audacious Goal (aka BHAG) far beyond anything you have ever thought possible? I never have until today!


Hello, wonderful community! 🌟


I have had a realisation about my raison d'etre, or purpose in life, and I am now focused on an ambitious mission to teach one billion people how to live a life of Acceptance without understanding by 2050. Teaching Acceptance without understanding has always been the purpose of my public outreach, which is very close to my heart. However, this journey will require collective wisdom and diverse insights.


This drive to teach about Acceptance without understanding comes from empathy, personal growth, a quest for equity, and a genuine desire to create a more compassionate world where individuals can embrace their authentic selves without fear of judgment or rejection.



For those unfamiliar with Acceptance without Understanding™, here is a summary to get you started.


Acceptance without Understanding is the profound recognition that each person is a unique blend of experiences, emotions, and identity. It's the unconditional embrace of individuals for who they are without the need to fully comprehend or judge them. It's about creating a space of empathy and understanding, acknowledging that while we may not grasp every aspect of someone's journey, we honour their humanity, affirm their existence, and support their right to live authentically. Acceptance transcends biases, societal expectations, and misunderstandings, fostering an environment where love, compassion, and empathy reign supreme, allowing every individual to thrive and belong without fear of judgment or discrimination.

We can achieve so much more together. I'm turning to you, my amazing network, for suggestions and tips on how to make this vision a reality. 🚀


Your perspectives are invaluable. Whether you have experience in education, advocacy, technology, or any other field, your insights can make a significant impact. Please share your ideas on reaching and teaching more people about Acceptance.


Let's foster a global culture of empathy, respect, and Acceptance. 💬
