Our Mission
I started this section and called it Glens nook. I plan on hanging out here more often. Ill listen, share my thinking with you, and hope to get to know many of you as we continue to grow our community.
We wanted to share our mission with you before publishing it. We believe that every voice is important and every voice matters. Please share your thoughts on our mission below.
Our Mission:
7 Cups of Tea is for anyone who wants to live in a world where the human experience is free from stigma and stereotypes and rich with love and support. A world where all 7 billion of us can grow and feel like we truly belong.
We believe that each one of us is inherently valuable. We do not measure people based on where they are from, what they look like, or what position they hold. We recognize that people make sense in the larger story of their lives. We understand that people are complicated and that life is not simple or easy.
We are all on the same path. Some of us are just starting out. Others are further down the road. No matter where we are, being kind, compassionate, and accepting of one another enables us all to grow.
We do not tolerate people being mean, harmful, or rejecting of others. We do not judge or look down on people.
Although there are forces that tend to disempower and create division, we stand together as we compassionately care for and champion one another. We see our differences as a strength. We are united in our shared goal of creating a place where all can find acceptance and be welcomed to a home where we all belong.
Our Goal: We are living in a world with an immense love deficit, which means that none of us is receiving the love we need to reach our true potential, to truly thrive. Our goal is to build a support system, a web, that can hold every member of our world. We believe that we can fill that love-gap for every person in the world, either because they are an active member of our community or because they are touched personally by someone who has been empowered by 7 Cups of Tea. We will reach this goal when we provide 100 million positive and supportive conversations each and every week.
Life is a slot machine of chance in some ways and our experiences of it are tremendously overdetermined by external influences in many others. 7 Cups of Tea is an oasis that should be an expanding alternative way to see the world as an opportunity to help others and to accept help in making life sweet rather than sour.
When you miss the nightmares...
the best over
Life can be very difficult you take a huge leap forward and then three steps back
@shyMap8400
yes, I've noticed that. As long as I'm moving then I'm encouraged. It means I'm not stagnating
It is challenging to see the big picture when you are only doing 30-50 chats a week. It is easy to not feel important to the process. We all need to make our part of the process important enough so we feel worthwhile by the work we do. It isn't easy when we think in terms of 100 million chats. So if we could talk in terms of 25 chats a week, we need 4 million listeners.
How can we get there? Every guest I talk to that is enthusiastic, I ask them at the end of chat if they would like a link to make joining 7COT easy and free, plus they can join a vibrant community.
Every member I talk with who is a good chatter, I ask them if they ever considered being a listener at 7COT. Some are interested.
So for me the path to progress is not just my dozens of chats each week, but the dozens of people I reach out to that may be the listeners of today and next week. We cannot do it alone. We need other people. By tailoring my chats with people toward this goal, there is a chance we can reach 100 million chats per week.
If we aim for the stars and who knows we may only hit the moon. But let's keep our sights aiming high.
@soulsings
exactly
@GlenM , as usual you managed to manifest the core of 7cups in your valuable thread about our mission , it is very important that we stand by each other and try to UNDERSTAND each other's pains , this wonderful world we all created here might not be real and at the current time alive in our virtual world , but just starting it here will lead to bigger achievements , this my dearest hope...
Sometimes I do my best thinking when I am standing still
I got discharged from therapy
Let's make 7 cups reconogised globally. 
@Pandas4ever let's do it. 😊
I Like this girl a lot and I'm nervous about telling her I'm afraid she won't feel the same way how should I tell her?
@Problemsolver16
Do it! What's the worst that could happen? If you don't you'll regret knowing if she does or not, you've a 50/50 chance if not I'm sure yous could be friends still
@Problemsolver16
Why don't you get to know her and become friends with her and see where it goes.
@Problemsolver16 if u really like her.. She says yes or no doesn't matter. Atleast she deserves to know that someone likes her. Wouldn't u like to know if someone likes you. It's ok if u cant give yourself to her. But atleast ull feel good. Go atleast make her feel good. U said u like her right.
@Problemsolver16 I think you should express how you feel to her and let it all come out. Even if she likes you or not either way it will get a solution
@Problemsolver16 tell her how you fell tell her you really like her what could happened she telling you no give it a try it doesn't hurt to try
@Problemsolver16 Just tell her. Sometimes the best thing to get is the truth of how she feels about you. Even if she sadly rejects you (god forbid) at least you know then it wasn't meant to be. If she does reject you (god forbid) you will learn that that is one of life's most important lesson. I wish the best.
@Problemsolver16 get to know herm try your best to please her and show her what type of man . then at the right moment you will know
@Problemsolver16 one sided love is mostly hard to get. But you can . Before propose her, show yourself and your love then see in her eyes for love... eyes speaks . Propose then.
@Problemsolver16 hi! If it were me I would just take that chance. Be brave! I would ask hey if she wanted hang out sometime. Maybe go to dinner or out to a movie. You're never going to know if she does until you just take that chance and ask. Maybe write her a letter, if that's easier for you. She seem into you at all? Show any signs?
@Problemsolver16 the only way you're going to know is if you ask. 'Their is no such thing as a stupid Question'
