others. People need to be accepted and recognized for their special unique spirits.

healing one’s self and others because many people have broken spirits and have
suffered from a variety of emotional hurts.

“dream great dreams”. The ability to look at problems from a conceptualized
perspective means that one must think beyond today’s realities.
