Our Mission

GlenM February 15th, 2015

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.

So happy to be on this site. It is a very safe place to share worries and get the soothing or empathy or constructive guidance that any human being needs at certain times in our life. In a way, even though we may not receive that type of care / love from biological family, we can still have those needs met by a greater universal family… most evidently available here. :) Thank you ~by being complete and well supported ..may we have new freedom, joy in living, and an increased ability to give.

I like your post and "LOVE" is a great thing, but I think we also need to make sure that we do not forget about understanding. Some of us are hard to love, especially at certain times. I speak of myself in particular. I am a wonderful individual and the majority of people around me (The teachers at my children's school, the people I work with, the check out person at the grocery store), but my wife thinks I am evil because I will not give into her emotional whims. I can see that at those times she will find me hard to love. Yes I hear exactly what she is saying but I disagree with what she is saying. So no matter how much she says it, how loud she says it, if she cries...If she screams, since I do not agree i am not going to comply. But I am not a bad person, I am well loved and do not need extra love, I just want to be understood that I do what I do because it is what I believe is the correct thing (and in case anyone wonders there is zero 0% none at all, 5 - 5 which equals zero) physical violence in the picture. I am CERTAIN that my wife would say there is mental violence, but that violence would be that regardless of how emotional she gets I am like a status an basically ignore her, because I refuse to allow ANYONES emotional state cause me to take an action that I disagree with to me core. I just want to be understood for that!!

"I refuse to allow ANYONES emotional state cause me to take an action that I disagree with to me core."

Beautifully said! I'm going to quote this to my family members the next time I start feeling like I am getting carried away by their emotional tone.

Not only can you get help. but you can also help others along the way, and in doing so, help yourself. Its a great concept.
